#Chorus 1:
#
[Em] I shot the sheriff
[Am] But I [Bm]didn't shoot no [Em]deputy, oh no! Oh!
[Em] I shot the sheriff
[Am] But I [Bm]didn't shoot no [Em]deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)

Verse 1:

[C] All a-[Bm]round in [Em]my home town,
They're [C]tryin' to [Bm]track me [Em]down;
[C] They say they [Bm]want to bring me in [Em]guilty
For the [C]killing of a [Bm]depu-[Em]ty,
For the [C]life of a [Bm]dep-[Em]uty.

But I say:

Riff:
Chorus 2:

[Em] I shot the sheriff
[Am] But I [Bm]swear it was in [Em]self-defence. (Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!)
I say: [Em]I shot the sheriff - Oh, [Am]Lord! -
And they say it is a [Em]capital offence. Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!

Verse 2:

[C] Sheriff [Bm]John Brown always [Em]hated me,
For [C]what[Bm], I don't [Em]know:
[C] Every [Bm]time I [Em]plant a seed,
        [C]           [Bm]        [Em]

He said kill it be-fore it grow
He said [C]kill them be-[Bm]fore it [Em]grow

And so:

[Em] I shot the sheriff
[Am] But I [Bm]swear it was in [Em]self-defence. (Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!)
[Em] I shot the sheriff
[Am] But I [Bm]swear it was in [Em]self-defence. (Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!)

Verse 3:

[C] Freedom [Bm]came my [Em]way one day
And I [C]started [Bm]out of t[Em]own, yeah!
[C] All of a [Bm]sudden I saw [Em]sheriff John Brown
[C] Aiming to [Bm]shoot me [Em]down,
So I [C]shot - I [Bm]shot - I shot him [Em]down and I say:

(If I am guilty I will pay)

Chorus 4:

[Em] I shot the sheriff
[Am] But I [Bm]didn't shoot no [Em]deputy, oh no! Oh!
[Em] I shot the sheriff
[Am] But I [Bm]didn't shoot no [Em]deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)

Verse 4:

[C] Reflexes had [Bm]got the [Em]better of me
And [C]what is to [Bm]be must [Em]be:
[C] Every day the [Bm]bucket a-[Em]go a well,
One [C]day the [Bm]bottom a-go [Em]drop out,
One [C]day the [Bm]bottom a-go [Em]drop out.

(I say):

Chorus 5:

[Em]                                                                  
{sot}
I - I - I - I shot the sheriff.

{eot}
[Am] Lord, I [Bm]didn't shot the [Em]deputy. Yeah!
 I - [Em]I (shot the sheriff)
[Am] But I [Bm]didn't shoot no [Em]deputy, yeah! No, yeah!
