Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff: chords

Gm
I shot the sheriff,
Cm                     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. Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.

D#    Dm7      Gm
All around in my home town,
         D#        Dm7      Gm
They're tryin' to track me down;
D#             Dm7                 Gm
They say they want to bring me in guilty,
        D#           Dm7  Gm
For the killing of a deputy,
        D#        Dm7 Gm
For the life of a deputy. But I say...

Chorus:
I shot the sheriff, the sheriff
But I swear it was in self-defense, oh no
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
I say, I shot the sherriff, oh Lord
And they say it is a capital offense, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what, I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow
And so, and so
Read it in the news

Chorus:
I shot the sheriff, oh Lord
But I swear it was in self-defense
Where was the deputy? Ooh, ooh, ooh
I say, I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self-defense, yeah
Ooh-ooh

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah
All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down and I say
If I am guilty I will pay (pay, pay, pay, pay, pay)

Chorus:
I shot the sheriff
But I say, but I didn't shoot no deputy
I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no, ooh, ooh, ooh
I shot the sheriff, I did
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Reflexes had the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket a-go a well
One day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out

I say
I-I-I, I shot the sheriff
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy, no
Yeah, I-I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah, so, yeah
