I shot the sheriff,

Eb    Dm          Gm

All a round in my home town

        Eb        Dm       Gm

they´re trying to track me down.

     Eb               Dm          Gm

They say they want to bring me in guilty

        Eb           Dm     Gm

for the killing of a deputy,

        Eb           Dm7     Gm

for the killing of a deputy.

But I say:

I shot the sheriff,

but I swear it was in selfdefence.

I shot the sheriff,

but I swear it was in selfdefence.

Sheriff John Brown always hated me

for what I don´t know.

Ev´ry time that I plant a seed

he said "Kill it before it grow,"

he said "Kill it before it grow."

But I say:

I shot the sheriff,

but I swear it was in selfdefence.

I shot the sheriff,

but I swear it was in selfdefence.

Freedom came my way one day

and I started out of town.

All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown,

aiming to shoot me down.

So I shot, I shot him down.

But I say:

I shot the sheriff,

but I did not shoot the deputy.

I shot the sheriff,

but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me

and what is to be must be.

Ev´ry day the bucket goes to the well,

but one day the bottom will drop out,

yes one day the bottom will drop out.

But I say:420

BENEFITS OF MUSIC TO PEOPLE

Children who study music tend to have larger vocabularies and more advanced reading skills than their peers who do not participate in music lessons.
Children with learning disabilities or dyslexia who tend to lose focus with more noise could benefit greatly from music lessons.
Music programs are constantly in danger of being cut from shrinking school budgets even though they're proven to improve academics.
Children who study a musical instrument are more likely to excel in all of their studies, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and pursue further education.
In the past, secondary students who participated in a music group at school reported the lowest lifetime and current use of all substances (tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs).
Schools with music programs have an estimated 90.2% graduation rate and 93.9% attendance rate compared to schools without music education, which average 72.9% graduation and 84.9% attendance.
Regardless of socioeconomic status or school district, students (3rd graders) who participate in high-quality music programs score higher on reading and spelling tests.
A Stanford study shows that music engages areas of the brain which are involved with paying attention, making predictions and updating events in our memory.
Much like expert technical skills, mastery in arts and humanities is closely correlated to a greater understanding of language components.
Young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year, compared to children who do not receive musical training.
Schools that have music programs have an attendance rate of 93.3% compared to 84.9% in schools without music programs.
