The Sheriff

	  		(intro) A D    C# F# B E 

A            D 
Wicked Josie rode away 
D   F#m/C#   Bm7    A 
In the sunset covered sky 
E                  A 
A lynching mob had strung his friend up 
B                D 
Right before his eyes 
A                   D 
He didn't know what they'd both done 
F#m                   D 
He sure as hell would end up one 
F#m       G#m      A                D 
A hot tin notch on the sheriff's gun 
B 
If he didn't move on 
C#      F#    B  E 
Get out of here 

A                   D 
The sheriff followed Josie's journey 
D   F#m/C#   Bm7    A 
From Kansas in the West 
E                  A 
He said he'd put a bullet right 
B                D 
Through poor old Josie's chest 
A                D 
But Josie wasn't like the rest 
F#m                   D 
He don't like bullet holes in his vest 
F#m       G#m      A                D 
In fact he'd do his very best 
B 
Don't want any arrest 
C#    F#    B    E 
Don't want to be the guest of the sheriff 

C		 F 
The nights got so damned cold 
F   Am/E   Dm7   C 
He couldn't stand the pace 
G		C 
He looked again for sheriff's men 
D		F 
But couldn't see a trace 
C			F 
Josie found a nice warm place 
Am			F 
But then the sheriff solved the case 
D        Em              F 
Hoped to find Josie's face 
G4 
And said: look here... 

( Am F ) 
( E F G G# ) 
( F D ) 
( C Bm C ) 
( C D E ) 
( F G C Eb ) 
( G Eb G Eb ) 
( Eb G# G4 ) 

( A D ) 
( C# F# B E ) 

A		D 
Sheriff rode him into town 

D    F#m/C#    Bm7       A 
With Josie look inside 
E                        A 
He didn't know about the six-gun 
B            E 
Wicked Josie had 
A                    D 
Then Josie drew his gun real fast 
F#m                  D 
Gave the sheriff one big blast 
F#m      G#m     A 
And Josie was a song at last 
B 
A legend from the past 
C#    F#     B      E 
Nobody ever messed with the sheriff
