For what I don't know

 Every time that I plant a seed

 Freedom came my way one day
MIb7    REm7        SOLm     MIb7

  And I started out of town
         REm7         SOLm

All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
MIb7    REm7       SOLm    
  Aiming to shoot me down

So I shot,    I shot him down, I say

 Reflexes got the better of me
MIb7  REm7         SOLm

 And what is to be must be
MIb7     REm7              SOLm

 Every day the bucket goes to the well
MIb7             REm7        SOLm

 But one day the bottom will drop out
MIb7             REm7        SOLm

Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say

SOLm              DOm7                      SOLm

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no
                  DOm7                      SOLm

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no
