CHORUS: Gm Cm Gm I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy Gm Cm Gm I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy VERSE: Cm Dm Gm All around in my home town Cm Dm Gm They're trying to track me down Cm Dm Gm They say they want to bring me in guilty Cm Dm Gm For the killing of a deputy Cm Dm Gm For the life of a deputy But I say… (play MAIN RIFF) MAIN RIFF: |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |--5--3------------------------| |--------5--3--1--5--3--1------| |--------------------------3---| CHORUS: Gm Cm Gm I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense Gm Cm Gm I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense VERSE: Cm Dm Gm Sheriff John Brown always hated me Cm Dm Gm For what I don't know Cm Dm Gm Every time that I plant a seed Cm Dm Gm He said "Kill it before it grows" Cm Dm Gm He said "Kill it before it grows" I say!
