I Shot The Sheriff(Live At Hammersmith) - Eric Clapton
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I say
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
I shot the sheriff and
They say it is a capital offence
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said 'Kill it before it grows
He said 'Kill it before it grows
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot I shot him down
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
Reflexes got the better of m
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to well
But one day the bottom wuill drop out
Yes one day the bottom will drop out
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy
