Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff

Chorus:   
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.    
     
Verse:    
D#     Dm7      Gm    
 All a-round 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 depu-ty,    
        D#        Dm7 Gm    
For the life of a dep-uty. But I say...    
     
Chorus:    
Gm    
 I shot the sheriff,    
Cm                     Gm    
 But I swear it was in self-defence. - Oh, no! Yeah! -    
       Gm                     Cm    
I say; I shot the sheriff, oh Lord!    
                     Gm    
And they say it is a capital offence. Yeah!    
     
Verse:    
D#       Dm7               Gm    
 Sheriff John Brown always hated me,    
    D#     Dm7      Gm    
For what... I don't know.    
      D#     Dm7     Gm    
Every time I plant a seed,    
        D#         Dm7     Gm    
He said kill it be-fore it grow,    
        D#           Dm7       Gm    
He said kill them be-fore they grow. And so, and so...    

- Read it in the news! -

Gm    
 I shot the sheriff,    
Cm                     Gm    
 But I swear it was in self-defence. I say;    
Gm    
 I shot the sheriff,    
Cm                     Gm    
 But I swear it was in self-defence. - Yeah! -    
     
Verse:    
D#               Dm7     Gm    
 Freedom came my way one day,    
      D#      Dm7     Gm    
And I started, out of town, yeah!    
D#        Dm7          Gm    
 All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown,    
D#         Dm7      Gm    
 Aiming to shoot me down,    
     D#      Dm7              Gm    
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down. And I say...    

- If I am guilty, I will pay -...

 But I didn't shoot no deputy. Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.    
     
Verse:    
   D#             Dm7       Gm    
Re-flexes had the better of me,    
    D#         Dm7     Gm    
And what is to be must be.    
      D#       Dm7           Gm    
Every day, the bucket a-go a-well,    
D#           Dm7         Gm    
 One day the bottom a-go drop out,    
D#           Dm7         Gm    
 One day the bottom a-go drop out.    

- I say -...

    Gm    
I-I-I, I shot the sheriff,

 Lord, I didn't shot the depu-ty. No!    
  Gm    
I-I...- shot the sheriff -,
