I Shot The Sheriff

In the style of

Eric Clapton

Lyrics

i shot the sheriff
but i did not shoot
the deputy

i shot the sheriff
but i didn't shoot
the deputy

all around
in my hometown
they're tryin'
to track me down

they say they want to
bring me in guilty
for the killing
of the deputy
for the life
of the deputy
well i said

i shot the sheriff
but i swear
it was in self-defense
i shot the sheriff
and they say
it is a capital offense

sheriff john brown
always hated me
for what
i don't know

every time
that i'd plant a seed
he said kill it
before it grows
he said kill it
before it grows
i say

i shot the sheriff
but i swear
it was in self-defense
i shot the sheriff
but i swear
it was in self-defense

freedom came my way
one day
and i started
out of there

all of a sudden
i see
sheriff john brown
aimin' to
shoot me down
so i shot
i shot him down
i said

i shot the sheriff
but i did not shoot
no deputy
i shot the sheriff
but i didn't shoot
the deputy

reflexes
got the better of me
and what is to be
must be

every day the bucket
goes to the well
but one day
the bottom
will drop out

yes one day
the bottom
will drop out
and i say

i shot the sheriff
but i didn't shoot
the deputy
woh no

i shot the sheriff
but i did not shoot
no deputy
oh no
