BOB MERLEY - I SHOT THE SHERIFF

Gm
I shot the sheriff,
Cm                      Gm
but I did not shoot the deputy.
Gm
I shot the sheriff,
Cm                      Gm
but I did not shoot the deputy.
Eb    Dm          Gm
All a round in my home town
        Eb        Dm       Gm
they´re trying to track me down.
     Eb               Dm          Gm
They say they want to bring me in guilty
        Eb           Dm     Gm
for the killing of a deputy,
        Eb           Dm7     Gm
for the killing of a deputy. 
           Gm
But I say:


I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
for what I don´t know.
Ev´ry time that I plant a seed
he said "Kill it before it grow,"
he said "Kill it before it grow."
But I say:

I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
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:

I shot the sheriff,
but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff,
but I did not shoot the deputy.
Reflexes got the better of me
and what is to be must be.
Ev´ry 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:420

BOB MARLEY - REDEPTION SONG

G Em7
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.
C G/B Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
G Em C G/B Am
minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit.
G Em7
But my hand was made strong
C G/B Am
By the hand of the Almighty.
G Em C D
We forward in this generation triumphantly.


Reff:
G C D G
Won’t you help to sing these songs of freedom?
C D Em C D G
‘Cause all I ever had, redemption songs,
C D G
redemption songs.

G Em7
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
C G/B Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.
G Em
Have no fear for atomic energy,
C G/B Am
‘Cause none of them can stop the time.
G Em7
How long shall they kill our prophets
C G/B Am
While we stand aside and look?
G Em
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it.
C D
We’ve got to fulfill the book.
