...I SHOT THE SHERIFF... by Bob Marley ------------------------..............
*from 'Burnin'' (1973)*
[Chorus 1]
Gm I shot the sheriff, CmGm But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh! Gm I shot the sheriff, CmGm But I didn't shoot no deputy. Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.
[Verse 1]
EbDm7Gm All a-round in my home town, EbDm7Gm They're tryin' to track me down; EbDm7Gm They say they want to bring me in guilty, EbDm7Gm For the killing of a depu-ty, EbDm7Gm For the life of a dep-uty. But I say...
Gm I shot the sheriff, CmGm But I swear it was in self-defence. (Oh, no! Yeah!) GmCm I say; I shot the sheriff, oh Lord! Gm And they say it is a capital offence. Yeah!
[Verse 2]
EbDm7Gm Sheriff John Brown always hated me, EbDm7Gm For what... I don't know. EbDm7Gm Every time I plant a seed, EbDm7Gm He said kill it be-fore it grow, EbDm7Gm He said kill them be-fore they grow. And so, and so...
Gm I shot the sheriff, CmGm But I swear it was in self-defence. I say; Gm I shot the sheriff, CmGm But I swear it was in self-defence. (Yeah!)
[Verse 3]
EbDm7Gm Freedom came my way one day, EbDm7Gm And I started, out of town, yeah! EbDm7Gm All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown, EbDm7Gm Aiming to shoot me down, EbDm7Gm So I shot, I shot, I shot him down. And I say...
Gm I shot the sheriff, CmGm But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh! Gm I shot the sheriff, CmGm But I didn't shoot no deputy. Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.
[Verse 4]
EbDm7Gm Re-flexes had the better of me, EbDm7Gm And what is to be must be. EbDm7Gm Every day, the bucket a-go a-well, EbDm7Gm One day the bottom a-go drop out, EbDm7Gm One day the bottom a-go drop out.
Gm I-I-I, I shot the sheriff, CmGm Lord, I didn't shot the depu-ty. No! Gm I-I...(shot the sheriff), CmGm But I didn't shoot no deputy. Yeah! So, yeah!
