I Shot Sheriff Chords

In terms of song structure, Sheriff can be broken down into two parts: the chorus (the “I shot the sheriff” part) and the intervening verses, which tell the story. There is also a little instrumental riff which separates the two, but we will come back to that later (good lord! Gm Gm I shot the sheriff, Cm Cm Gm Gm Gm Gm but I did not shoot the deputy. Eb Dm Gm Gm All around in my old town Eb Dm Gm Gm they're trying to track me down.
