verses
[Ebmaj7] [Dm7] [Gm#] [#] [6##6#6##6#]
[Ebmaj7](1) a[Dm7]ll around in my ho[Gm]metown [Ebmaj7] [Dm7]trying to track me down[Gm]
(2) sheriff john brown always hated me for what i dont no
(3) freedom came my way one day so i started out of town
(4) reflexes got the better of me what will be will be
[Ebmaj7] th[Dm7]ey say they want to bri[Gm]ng me in gui[Ebmaj7]lty [Dm7]killing of a deputy[Gm]
and every time that i plant a seed he said kill it before it grows
all of a sudden i see sheriff john brown aimin to shoot me down
everyday the bucket goes to the well one day the bottom will drop out
[Ebmaj7]for the [Dm7]life of a deputy [Gm] but i say
kill it before it grows
so i shot so i shot him down
i say one day the bottom will drop out
