Eric Clapton - I shot the sheriff - live version lyrics

Riff I shot the Sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy I shot the Sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy All around in my hometown, they're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the k**ing of a deputy For the life of a deputy, but I say: I shot the Sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy I shot the Sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy Sheriff John Brown always hated me, for what I don't know Every time that I plant a seed He said: "k** it before it grows!" He said: "k** it before it grows!" But 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 All of a sudden, I see sheriff John Brown Aiming to shoot me down So I shot, I shot him down, but I say: Orgel-Solo / Break 3 Takte I shot the Sheriff, but I didn't 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 goes 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 no deputy I shot the Sheriff, but I did not shoot no deputy Instr Schluss
