[ti:I Shot The Sheriff]
[ar:Eric Clapton]
[00:00.31] I shot the sheriff
[00:02.31] but I did not shoot the deputy
[00:10.51] I shot the sheriff
[00:13.89] but I did not shoot the deputy
[00:21.51] All around in my home town
[00:25.77] they're trying to track me down
[00:30.64] They say they want to bring me in guilty
[00:35.58] for the killing of a deputy
[00:40.45] for the life of a deputy
[00:45.01] But I say
[00:52.27] I shot the sheriff
[00:55.51] but I swear it was in self-defence
[01:02.21] I shot the sheriff
[01:05.71] and they say it is a capital offence
[01:13.46] Sheriff John Brown always hated me
[01:17.96] for what I don't know
[01:23.02] Every time that I plant a seed
[01:27.95] he said 'Kill it before it grows'
[01:32.83] He said 'Kill it before it grows'
[01:37.14] But I say
[01:44.33] I shot the sheriff
[01:47.58] but I swear it was in self-defence
[01:54.43] I shot the sheriff
[01:57.90] but I swear it was in self-defence
[02:05.54] Freedom came my way one day
[02:10.29] and I started out of town
[02:15.54] All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
[02:21.04] aiming to shoot me down
[02:24.67] so I shot I shot him down
[02:29.68] But I say
[02:40.37] I shot the sheriff
[02:43.37] but I did not shoot the deputy
[02:50.05] I shot the sheriff
[02:53.55] but I did not shoot the deputy
[03:01.30] Reflexes got the better of me
[03:06.36] and what is to be must be
[03:11.12] Every day the bucket goes to well
[03:16.05] but one day the bottom wuill drop out
[03:21.05] yes one day the bottom will drop out
[03:25.24] But I say
[03:32.18] I shot the sheriff
[03:35.55] but I did not shoot the deputy
[03:42.24] I shot the sheriff
[03:45.74] but I did not shoot the deputy
