I Shot The Sheriff -- Bob Marley

        Gm           Gm

        Eb   Dm          Gm        Gm
        All around in my home town
                Eb        Dm       Gm   Gm
        they're trying to track me down.
             Eb               Dm          Gm     Gm
        They say they want to bring me in guilty
                Eb           Dm     Gm Gm
        for the killing of a deputy,
                Eb           Dm7    Gm Gm
        for the killing of a deputy.
                   Gm Gm Gm Gm
        But I say:


        I shot the sheriff,
        but I swear it was in selfdefence.
        I shot the sheriff,
        but I swear it was in selfdefence.
        Sheriff John Brown always hated me
        for what I don't know.
        Ev'ry time that I plant a seed
        he said "Kill it before it grow,"
        he said "Kill it before it grow."
        But I say:

        I shot the sheriff,
        but I swear it was in selfdefence.
        I shot the sheriff,
        but I swear it was in selfdefence.
        Freedom came my way one day
        and I started out of town.
        All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown,
        aiming to shoot me down.
        So I shot, I shot him down.
        But I say:

        I shot the sheriff,
        but I did not shoot the deputy.
        I shot the sheriff,
        but I did not shoot the deputy.
        Reflexes got the better of me
        and what is to be must be.
        Ev'ry day the bucket goes to the well,
        but one day the bottom will drop out,
        yes one day the bottom will drop out.
        But I say:


Enjoy,
  Kim
