VERSE 1 Eb Dm Gm All a-round in my home town, Eb Dm Gm They’re tryin’ to track me down; Eb Dm Gm They say they want to bring me in guilty, Eb Dm Gm For the killing of a depu-ty, Eb Dm Gm For the life of a dep-uty. But I say… STACCO Gm Dm / Cm-Dm-Gm CHORUS 2 Gm I shot the sheriff, Cm Gm But I swear it was in self-defence. (Oh, no! Yeah!) Gm Cm I say; I shot the sheriff, oh Lord! Gm And they say it is a capital offence. Yeah! VERSE 2 Eb Dm Gm Sheriff John Brown always hated me, Eb Dm Gm For what… I don’t know.
