Ebmaj7 Dm7 Gm Ebmaj7 Dm7 Gm
(1) all around in my hometown trying to track me down
(2) sheriff john brown always hated me for what i dont no
(3) freedom came my way one day so i started out of town
(4) reflexes got the better of me what will be will be
Ebmaj7 Dm7 Gm Ebmaj7 Dm7 Gm
they say they want to bring me in guilty killing of a deputy
and every time that i plant a seed he said kill it before it grows
all of a sudden i see sheriff john brown aimin to shoot me down
everyday the bucket goes to the well one day the bottom will drop out
Ebmaj7 Dm7 Gm
for the life of a deputy but i say
kill it before it grows
so i shot so i shot him down
i say one day the bottom will drop out
