paroles de chanson I Shot the Sheriff - Live at The Royal Albert Hall, Orchestral Version - Eric Clapton

All around in my hometown
They're trying to track me down
And 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
But I did not shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what, I don't know
And every time that I plant a seed
He said, kill it before it grows
He said, kill it before it grows, I say, "No"

I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self-defense (oh, no, no)
I shot the sheriff
And they said it is a capital offense

Freedom came my way one day
I started out of town
All of a sudden, I see Sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I, Lord, I had to shoot him down
You can read it in the news

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy (oh, no, no), no, no, no
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy

Reflexes got the better of me
What will be, will be, yeah
Every day the bucket goes to the well
One day, the bottom must drop out
I said, "One day, one day, bottom must drop out"
(One day the bottom must drop out) I said

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy (no-no, no-no, no-no)
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)

Thank you
