(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

      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
