I Shot the Sheriff (Live At Hammersmith)

[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 killing 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, "Kill it before it grows" "Kill 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
