I Shot The Sheriff
Eric Clapton
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmbut I did not shoot the Gmdeputy
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmbut I did not shoot the Gmdeputy
EbAll aroDmund in my Gmhome town
EbThey're trying to Dmtrack me Gmdown
EbThey say they want Dmto bring me in Gmguilty
For the Ebkilling of a DmdeputyGm
For the Eblife of a Dmdeputy GmBut I say?
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmbut I swear it was in Gmself-defense
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmand they say it is a Gmcapital offense
EbSheriff DmJohn Brown Gmalways hated me
EbFor whaDmt I don't Gmknow
EbEvery Dmtime that I Gmplant a seed
He Ebsaid "Kill it Dmbefore it Gmgrows"
He Ebsaid "Kill it Dmbefore it Gmgrows" I say!
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmbut I swear it was in Gmself-defense
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmbut I swear it was in Gmself-defense
EbFreedom Dmcame my way Gmone day
EbAnd I Dmstarted out of Gmtown yeah
EbAll of a Dmsudden I see Gmsheriff John Brown

So EbI shoDmt, I Gmshot him down I say!
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmbut I did not shoot the Gmdeputy
GmI shot the sheriff, Cmbut I didn't shoot the Gmdeputy
EbReflexeDms got the Gmbetter of me
EbAnd whaDmt is to be Gmmust be

EbBut one day the Dmbottom will Gmdrop out
EbYes, one Dmday the bottom will Gmdrop out But I say
