 all a-round   in my   home town,
        F6              Cm                  Gm
They re tryin   to track me    down;
F6              Cm                       Gm    
 They say they want to bring me in guilty,
        F6             Cm     Gm
for the killing  of  a   depu-ty,
        F6           Cm     Gm
for the life    of a     dep-uty.  but I say...

 I shot the sheriff,
Cm                                              Gm
but I swear it was in self-defence. (Oh, no! Yeah!)
       Gm                     Cm
I say; I shot the sheriff, oh Lord!
                                     Gm
and they say it is a capital offence. Yeah!

F6                                Cm         Gm      
 Sheriff John brown always hated me,
    F6          Cm        Gm
for what... I don t   know.
      F6           Cm       Gm
every time I plant a seed,
        F6            Cm          Gm
He said kill it be-fore it grow,
        F6                  Cm                 Gm
He said kill them be-fore they grow. and so, and so...

F6                        Cm            Gm

and I started, out of town, yeah!
F6                          Cm                         Gm

F6                Cm             Gm
 aiming to shoot me down,
     F6         Cm                        Gm
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down. and I say...
 
(If I am guilty, I will pay)...

F6             Cm                Gm
Re-flexes had the better of me,
    F6         Cm                Gm
and what is to be must be.
      F6       Cm                             Gm
every day, the bucket a-go a-well,
F6           Cm                             Gm
 One day the bottom a-go drop out,
F6           Cm                               Gm
 One day the bottom a-go drop out.
(I say)...

 Lord, I didn t shot the depu-ty. No!
  Gm
I-I...(shot the sheriff),
Cm                                 Gm
but I didn t shoot no deputy. Yeah! So, yeah!
