| Gm | Cm | Gm |
| I shot the sheriff, | but I did not shoot the | deputy |
| Gm | Cm | Gm |
| I shot the sheriff, | but I did not shoot the | deputy |
| Cm | Dm | Gm | Cm | Dm | Gm |
| All a | round in my | home town - | They're trying to | track me | down |
| Cm | Dm | Gm | Cm | Dm | Gm |
| They say they want | to bring me in | guilty - For the | killing of a | deputy | |
| Cm | Dm | Gm |
| For the | life of a | deputy | But I say? |
| I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense | |
| I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense | |
| 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 say! | |
| I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense | |
| I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense | |
| Freedom came my way one day - And I started out of town yeah | |
| All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown - Aiming to shoot me down | |
| So I shot, I shot him down! I say: | |
| I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy | |
| I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy | |
| Reflexes got the better of me - And what is to be must be | |
| Every day the bucket falls to the well - But one day the bottom will drop out | |
| Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, But I say: | |
| I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no | |
| I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot no deputy, oh no | |
