So I need to do a musical analysis of Bob Marley's I shot the Sheriff. It must include atleast stuff like an explanation of the characteristic stylistic features, including the shape, roles of the different instruments, harmonic and way of singing (call back etc. and stuff). After that I need to place the text of the song into historical context.
Anyways it would be nice if someone would help me out with that, then ill be very happy. Shouldnt take long I guess! And feel free to add anything to it. (Handing it in tommorow). And ofcourse the lyrics! http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+marley/i+...f_20021744.html A thousand thanks to whoever helps me  . Also included the sheet for it.~Rasmus Vitting

Something you must mention about this genre is the characteristic rhythm called syncopation. The strong pulse is actually put not on the first beat but rather one 8th note after "in the middle" of one pulse, giving the kind of jumpy feel to it.
