intro 	||: Am Am Dm Am :||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am                 Dm                          Am       
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy
Am                 Dm                          Am        
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F     Em          Am                 F         Em      Am        
All around in my hometown, they’re trying to track me down
      F                 Em         Am              F            Em  Am                     
They say they want to bring me in guilty, for the killing of a deputy
         F            Em7 Am            Am Am Dm Am 
For the killing of a deputy, but I say:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am                 Dm                        Am       
I shot the sheriff,   but I swear it was in self-defence
Am                 Dm                       Am    
I shot the sheriff,   and they say it is a capital offense
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  F            Em          Am             F  Em        Am
Sheriff John Brown always hated me, for what I don’t know
F      Em           Am                   F          Em       Am   
Every time that I plant a seed, he said “Kill it before it grow”
          F         Em7     Am               Am Am Dm Am 
He said “Kill it before it grow”, but I say:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am                 Dm                        Am        
I shot the sheriff,   but I swear it was in self-defence
Am                 Dm                        Am   
I shot the sheriff,   but I swear it was in self-defence
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  F      Em     Am                  F     Em      Am 
Freedom came to me one day, and I started out of town
          F        Em     Am              F           Em      Am       
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown, aiming to shoot me down
      F        Em      Am              Am Am Dm Am 
So I shot, I shot him down, but I say:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am                 Dm                          Am       
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy
Am                 Dm                          Am        
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F        Em      Am                 F         Em      Am    
Reflexes got the better of me, and what is to be must be
       F          Em       Am 
Every day the bucket goes to the well,        F              Em       Am
  But one day the bottom will drop out
          F              Em       Am              Am Am Dm Am 
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am                 Dm                          Am       
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy
Am                 Dm                          Am        
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am                 Dm                        Am        
I shot the sheriff,   but I swear it was in self-defence
Am                 Dm                        Am   
I shot the sheriff,   but I swear it was in self-defence
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am                 Dm                          Am       
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy
Am                 Dm                          Am        
I shot the sheriff,   but I did not shoot the deputy
