[C#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I shall share [Bm] it, _ _ but I swear _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m]
it wasn't sent to me. _ _
_ _ _ It was time to share _ _ [Bm] it, _ _ and be _ _ _ [A] thankful for [F#m] _ the grace.
_ _ [A] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
There [C#m] is some ground, _ [F#m] always there to me, _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C#m] for what I [F#m] don't know.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] Every time [C#m] I plant [F#m] a seed, _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [D] he says, kill [C#m] them before [F#m] they grow.
_ _ _ _ He [D] says, kill [C#m] them before [F#m] they grow.
_ _ _ And boy, _
_ [C#m] _ _ [B] I [C#] know [Bm] _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
I shall share [Bm] _ it, _ but my feelings [A] is so captive.
[F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ It _ _ was time to share _ _ [Bm] _ _
it, but _ [A] _ _ _
I [F#m] didn't choose not to be no brother.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Freedom [C#m] came my way [F#m] one day, _ _ _ _ _ [D] and I _ [C#m] started out _ _ [F#m] uptown.
_ _ [C#m] All _ _ [D] _
_ [C#m] of a sudden I [F#m] saw Sheriff John Brown, _ [D] he was aiming [C#m] to shoot [F#m] our love.
_ _ _ So [D] I stopped, _ [C#m] yes I stopped [F#m] and turned back, _ [E] and I [F#m] said, _
[C#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ bye bye bye, I stopped and turned back.
[Bm] _ _
I didn't [E] shoot the deputy, _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ it _ _ _ _ was _ _ I who stopped and turned back.
[Bm] _ _
But I [E] didn't shoot the deputy, [F#m] _ it _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [C#m] was the better of [F#m]
me.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] And what [C#m] did the _ people [F#m] say?
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Every day [C#m] the bucket [F#m] goes to the well.
