(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
