I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy

All around in my home town
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?

I shot the sheriff...
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said "Kill it before it grows"
He said "Kill it before it grows", I say!
I shot the sheriff...
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town yeah
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, I say!
I shot the sheriff...
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket falls 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 won't you make yourself at home and
D

Stay with me? And don't you ever leave
A

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms
E

Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
A
D
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
E
A
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies
Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms...
A
D
I long to see the morning light
Colouring your face so dreamily
So don't you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down and stay with me
And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms...
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms...

Hate to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind
I'm goin' down to the station, catch that old fast milk train, you'll see
I'm going down to the station, catch that old fast milk train, you'll see
I've got the blues about Miss So-and-So, and the sun got the blues 'bout me

It's late in the evening
C
D
She's wondering what clothes to wear
G
D
She puts on her make up
C
D
And brushes her long blonde hair
C
D
And then she asks me
G
D
Em
Do I look alright?
C
D
G
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
Is walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright?
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
D
C
I feel wonderful
D
G
D
Em
Because I see the love light in your eyes
C
D
And the wonder of it all
C
D
Is that you just don't realize
G
How much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Em
C
D
G
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
