_ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _

_ [Em] _ [Bm] _ but I did [A] not shoot more [E] than 50.
[F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
It was I who shot the sheriff, _
_ [Bm] _ _ but I did [A] not shoot [C#m] more than [F#m] 50. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C#] All around in my [F#m] _ hometown, _ _ _ _
[D] yes they're trying _ [C#m] to _ [F#m] track me down. _ _ _ _
_ [D] They say they [C#m] want to bring I [F#m] am guilty _ _ for _
_ [D] the life _ [C#m] _ _
of a [F#m] deputy.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ But I said [E] I _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ shot the sheriff, _ [A] _
[Bm] _ _ but I [D] said it wasn't [F#m] 50. _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ It was I who shot the sheriff, _
[Bm] _ _ _ and they say [F#m] it is a capital [E] _ [F#m] _ offense. _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ You know [F#m] what?
_ [D] _ _ Sheri [C#m] John Brown [F#m] always said that. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [C#m] You know what?
[F#m] I'll never know.
_ _ But [D] every _ time [C#m] I played [F#m] a scene, _ _ _ he [D] said, _ _ [E] kill them before [F#m] they grow. _ _ _
He [D] said, _ _ [E] kill them before [F#m] they grow.
_ _ And so, _ [E] _ [C#] _ _ [B] _
and so, _ [F#m] _ _ _ you're going to find why I shot the sheriff. _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [F#m] One _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ shot, shot him.
[Bm] I'm making a statement, I'm shooting [F#m] on a _ _ guillotine. _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[D] Oh, freedom came [E] my way _ [F#m] one day, and _ _ _ [D] I started _ [C#m] _ out [F#m] of town, yeah. _ _
And [D] then, _ all [C#] of a sudden, I [F#m] saw _ Sheri John [Bm] Brown.
[F] [D] He was _ [C#m] aiming to shoot [F#m] I down. _ _ _ _
[D] So I shot, [C#m] oh yes I shot, [F#m] I shot him down.
[C#m] And I [F#m] say, [E] _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _
[F#m] if I am guilty I will die.
_ _ I shot the sheriff, _
_ [Em] _ _ but I did not shoot [C#] on [E] a [F#m] _ _ guillotine.
I [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] [F#m] shot the sheriff, _
[B] but _ _ [D] I did not _ [E] shoot on a guillotine.
[F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [C#m] Reflexes are the daughter _ [G#] of me now. _ _ _
And then, _ _ [F#] what is to be, _ must [N] be. _ _ _
Every [D] _ day _ [C#m] the bucket goes to [F#m] the well.
[Bm] Tell [A] you what, _ [D] _ _ _ [C#m] one day the bottom will drop out.
[F#m] _ And I [D] mean it, _ [C#m] one day the bottom [F#] will drop _ [F#m] out.
And so, [E] _ _ [C#] _ [B] and _ so, [A] _ [F#m] _ the _ religion and you.
