_ _ _ _ [D] They say they [C#m] want to bring dying [F#m] guilty, _ _ _ _ _ [D] for the life [C#m] of a dead [F#m] human _ being.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _

_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C#m] For what?

_ _ I'm sorry, [Bm] Sheriff.

[D] _ _ Freedom came [C#m] my way one [F#m] day, _ _ _ _ _ [D] and I _ [C#m] started out of town.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ And all [C#m] of a sudden, I [F#m] saw _ Sheriff Dunn-Brown, [D] he was aiming [C#m] to shoot me.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] So I shot, _ [E] yes I shot, [F#m] _ and _ _ I _ said, [A] _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
bye, bye, [F#m] bye. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] But I didn't shoot no deputy, _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _

_ [D] _ _ Reflections [C#m] of the better _ [F#m] of _ _ _ me,
_ [D] _ _ What [C#m] is to be, [F#m] my dear? _ _ _ _
_ [D] Every day [C#m] the bucket _ [F#m] goes to the well. _ _
_ [D] _ _ One [C#m] day the bottle [F#m] of the truffle, _ _ _
