I believe there were a request a couple of weeks ago for some Marley
songs... Disclaimer: I haven`t been playing theses songs for a long,
long time so chord changes etc. may be slightly off. Anyway, you
should be able to get the general idea.
I SHOT THE SHERIFF (Bob Marley)
==================
Gm Gm
I shot the sheriff,
Cm Cm Gm Gm Gm Gm
but I did not shoot the deputy.
Gm Gm
I shot the sheriff,
Cm Cm Gm Gm Gm Gm
but I did not shoot the deputy.
Eb Dm Gm Gm
All around in my home town
Eb Dm Gm Gm
they`re trying to track me down.
Eb Dm Gm Gm
They say they want to bring me in guilty
Eb Dm Gm Gm
for the killing of a deputy,
Eb Dm7 Gm Gm
for the killing of a deputy.
Gm Gm Gm Gm
But I say:
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
for what I don`t know.
Ev`ry time that I plant a seed
he said Kill it before it grow,
he said Kill it before it grow.
But I say:
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
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 did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff,
but I did not shoot the deputy.
Reflexes got the better of me
and what is to be must be.
Ev`ry 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:
Enjoy,
Kim
