 Gm

But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, oh
 Gm                             
I shot the sheriff 
 Cm                    Gm
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, oh


Yeah 




      Eb   Dm7          Gm
Yeah, all around in my home town
         Eb        Dm7      Gm
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
     Eb                Dm7            Gm
They say they want to bring me in guilty 
         Eb           Dm7 Gm
For the killing of a deputy 
         Eb        Dm7 Gm

For the life of a deputy

Verse 2:      Sheriff John Brown always hated me 
              For what I don't know 
              And every time that I plant a seed
              He said "kill it, before it grows"
              He said "kill it, before it grows" 


Verse 3:      Freedom came my way one day 
              And I started out of town there 
              All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
              Aiming to shoot me down
              So I shot, I shot him down 
              And I say, hey


Verse 4:      Reflexes got the better of me
              And what must be, must be 
              Every day the bucket goes to the well
              But one day the bottom will drop out 
              Yes, one day the bottom will drop out 
              But I say,


Chorus 4 & 5: I shot the sheriff 
              But I did not shoot the deputy
              I shot the sheriff 
              But I did not shoot the deputy
