But I didn't shoot no deputy. Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.
[Verse 1]
D C#m F#m
All a-round in my home town,
D C#m F#m
They're tryin' to track me down;
D C#m F#m
They say they want to bring me in guilty,
D C#m F#m
For the killing of a depu-ty,
D C#m F#m
For the life of a dep-uty. But I say...
[Riff]
[Chorus 2]
F#m
I shot the sheriff,
Bm F#m
But I swear it was in self-defence. (Oh, no! Yeah!)
F#m Bm
I say; I shot the sheriff, oh Lord!
F#m
And they say it is a capital offence. Yeah!
[Verse 2]
D C#m F#m
Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
D C#m F#m
For what... I don't know.
D C#m F#m
Every time I plant a seed,
D C#m F#m
He said kill it be-fore it grow,
D C#m F#m
He said kill them be-fore they grow. And so, and so...
[Riff]
[Chorus 3]

Freedom came my way one day,
D C#m F#m
And I started, out of town, yeah!
D C#m F#m
All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown,
D C#m F#m
Aiming to shoot me down,
D C#m F#m
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down. And I say...
[Riff]
If I am guilty, I will pay
[Chorus 4]

I shot the sheriff,
Bm F#m
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!

But I didn't shoot no deputy. Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.
[Verse 4]
D C#m F#m
Re-flexes had the better of me,
D C#m F#m
And what is to be must be.
D C#m F#m
Every day, the bucket a-go a-well,
D C#m F#m
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
D C#m F#m
One day the bottom a-go drop out.
[Riff]
I say
[Chorus 5]
F#m
I-I-I, I shot the sheriff,
Bm F#m
Lord, I didn't shot the depu-ty. No!
F#m
I-I...(shot the sheriff),
Bm F#m
But I didn't shoot no deputy. Yeah! So, yeah!
