This one is pretty easy...and it's hella fun to play
Gm
I shot the sheriff
Cm7
But I did not shoot the deputy
...
EM7 Dm Gm
All around in my home town...
All licks are done in Gm pentatonic (blues w/o the blue note) in your basic root on E pattern. There is a little solo work (or a lot in live version) also in G blues.
Voicings:
Gm7 -> 3xx333 (most strumming on last 3 strings)
Cm7 -> x35343
EM7 -> xx1333
Dm -> xx0231
Of course you can use others if you like, these are the ones clapton used though I think.

Thanks for the cool song!
Hate to be a nitpicker, but the EM7 should be EbM7.
I bet that's what you meant to say. :D
If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis

Yes it is, thanks. That happened in agb also, I called Cm7 C7. Oh well, nobody is perfect..if I were it would be really annoying for everyone else.
How are you playing the rhythm on this. Strumming?
I had a book with this song in it but it was Bob Marley's reggae version.
Are you playing this with that reggae type rhythm or just regular strumming?

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

Listen to the song. You hit the base note of the chord and follow with one or more strums of the upper part of the chord. It is sort of funky but not quite funk.
