I SHOT THE
SHERIFF (BOB MARLEY)
Am Dm Am Am7
I shot the
Sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
Am Dm Am Am7
I shot the Sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy
Fmag7
Em7 Am Fmag7 Em7 Am
All ar ound in my hometown, they're trying to track me down
Fmag7
Em7 Am
They say they want to bring me in guilty
Fmag7 Em7 Am
For the killing of a dep uty
Fmag7 Em7 Am
for the life of a deputy, but I say:
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Sheriff John Brown always hated me, for what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said: "Kill it before it grows!"
He sais: "Kill it before it grows!" But I say:
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Freedom came my way one day, and I started out of town
All of a sudden, I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, but I say:
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Reflexes got the better of me, and what is to 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:
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
