_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
All [C#m] _ around and [F#m] miles down, _ [F#] _ _ _ [D] they're _ [C#m] trying to track me [F#m] down.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] They say they [C#m] want to bring me [F#m] in to the _ team, _ [D]
for the [C#m] life of a _ [F#m]
deputy. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] For the life [C#m] of a deputy.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ But I said, _ [E] _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I shot in the shower, _
[Bm] _ _ _ I swear [F#m] _
_ _ it _ wasn't self-reliance.
_ _ _ _ It was a shot in the shower, _ [Bm] _ _ and then [A] Sarah came back and got me tied [F#m] up in the _ rope. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C#m] Sarah John Brown _ [F#m] always said to me, _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C#m] for what I [F#m] don't know, _ _ _
_ _ [D] every time [C#m] I plant [F#m] a seed, _ _ _ _
He [D] said, kill [C#m] them before _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [F#m] they grow. _ _ _
And so _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [C#] _ [Bm] _ I [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ shot Sarah, [Bm] _ _ _ but I [Am] didn't shoot [F#m] no deputy. _ _
_ It _ _ _ _ _ _ _ was I shot Sarah, _ [Bm] _ _ _ but I [A] didn't _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] shoot no deputy. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [D] Freedom _ _ [C#m] came my way [F#m] one day, _ _ _ _ [D] and I _ [C#m] started out [A] of [F#m] town.
_ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [D] _ All [C#m] of a sudden I [F#m] saw _ Sheriff John Brown, [D] he was [C#m] aiming to shoot [F#m] I down. _ _ _
[D] So I shot, _ [C#m] yes I shot, [F#m] shot him down. _
And I said, _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ bye bye bye, I shot the sheriff, _ [D] but I _ [A] didn't shoot the deputy.
[E] _ [F#m] _ It _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ was I shot the sheriff, _ [Bm] _ _ _ but I [E] didn't shoot no deputy.
[F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[C#] _ [D] Replaces _ _ [C#m] are _
_ _ [F#m] of me, _ _ _
_ _ [D] and what [C#m] is to me, [F#m] my duty. _ _ _
_ _ [D] Every day [C#m] the bucket _ [F#m] goes to the well. _
I [D] say, one [C#m] day the bottom [F#m] will drop out. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
And so, _ _ _ [C#m] _
and [Bm] so, _ [F#m] _ I ended it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
