Subject: CHORDS: I Shot The Sheriff -- Bob Marley

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
