eric clapton - i shot the sheriff (live at hammersmith) lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy

[verse 1]
all around in my hometown
they’re trying to track me down
they say they want to bring me in guilty
for the k!lling of a deputy
for the life of a deputy
but i say, oh na na

[chorus]
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy
bob marley did

[verse 2]
sheriff john brown always hated me — for what, i don’t know
and every time that i plant a seed, he said, “k!ll it before it grows”
“k!ll it before it grows”
no

[chorus]
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy
[verse 3]
freedom came my way one day, so 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

[chorus]
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy

[verse 4]
reflexes gotten the better of me
and what will be will be
every day the bucket goes to the well
one day the bottom will drop out
i said one day the bottom will drop out, oh no

[chorus]
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy, oh no
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy, alright

[instrumental break]

[outro]
thank you
