I shot the sheriff

Song composer: Bob Marley
Lyrics author: Bob Marley


           Ebm 
            I shot the sheriff,
           Abm Ebm 
            but I did not shoot the deputy. 
Bbm Ebm 
All around in my home town 
Bbm Ebm 
they're trying to track me down.
Bbm Ebm 
They say they want to bring me in guilty 
Bbm Ebm 
for the killing of a deputy, 
Bbm7 Ebm 
for the killing of a deputy,   
Ebm 
But I say:   
            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," (deux fois)
But I say:
            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 swear it was in selfdefence.
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:
            I shot the sheriff,
            but I swear it was in selfdefence.
