Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                      Am 
But I did not shoot the deputy 
Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                      Am 
But I did not shoot the deputy 

F7+  Em7        Am 
All around in my old town 
  F7+    Em7       Am 
They're trying to track me down 
      F7+              Em7         Am 
They say they want to bring me in guilty 
         F7+      Em7  Am 
For the killing of a   deputy 
         F7+      Em7 Am 
For the life of a deputy 

But I say 

Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                    Am 
But I swear it was in selfdefence 
Am 
I shot the sheriff 
Dm                    Am 
And they say it is a capital offence 

F7+      Em7       Am 
 Sheriff John Brown always hated me 
      F7+  Em7       Am 
For what    I don't know 
       F7+    Em7    Am 
Every time I plant a seed 
          F7+      Em7      Am 
He said 'Kill it before it grow' 
          F7+      Em7          Am 
He said 'Kill them before they grow' 

And so , and so , beat in the news 

Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                    Am 
But I swear it was in selfdefence 
Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                    Am 
But I swear it was in selfdefence 

  F7+        Em7   Am 
Freedom came my way one day 
        F7+  Em7     Am 
And I started out of town 
F7+      Em7      Am 
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown 
F7+    Em7      Am 
Aiming to shoot me down 
       F7+    Em7 
So I shot, I shot , I shot  him down 

And I say 

If I am gulty I will pay 

Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                      Am 
But I did not shoot the deputy 
Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                      Am

    F7+          Em7   Am 
Reflexes got the better of me 
      F7+      Em7     Am 
And what is to be must be 
       F7+    Em7      Am 
Every day the bucket I go I well 
F7+         Em7          Am 
One day the bottom will drop out 
F7+         Em7          Am 
One day the bottom will drop out 

But I say 

Am 
I shot the sheriff 
 Dm                      Am 
But I did not shoot the deputy 
Am

 Dm                      Am
