who sings i shot the sheriff
I Shot the Sheriff is a song written by Bob Marley. The song was first released on The Wailers' album Burnin'. Eric Clapton recorded a cover version that was included on his album, 461 Ocean Boulevard. I want to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I shot the sheriff' instead... but it's the same idea: justice.. â Bob Marley [1]
