[G7] When Liberty [C] Valance rode to [F] town
The women [Em] folk would [Am] hide they'd [F] hide [G7]
When Liberty [C] Valance walked a[F]round the men would [Em] step a[Am]side
{c: }
Cause the [Em] point of a gun was the [Bm] only law
That [Em] Liberty under[F]stoo[G7]d
When it [C] came to shooting [Am] straight and fast [F] he was mighty [C] good [G7]
{c: }
From out of the [C] East a stranger [F] came
A law book [Em] in his [Am] hand a [F] man [G7]
The kind of a [C] man the West would [F] need to tame a [Em] troubled [Am] land
{c: }
Cause the [Em] point of a gun was the [Bm] only law
That [Em] Liberty under[F]stoo[G7]d
When it [C] came to shooting [Am] straight and fast [F] he was mighty [C] good
{c: }
[Am] Many a [Em] man would [Am] face his gun
And [Em] many a man would [F] fa[G7]ll
The [C] man who shot [Am] Liberty Valance
[C] He shot [Am] Liberty Valance [F] he was the bravest of them [C] all [G7]
{c: }
The love of a [C] girl can make a [F] man stay on
When [Em] he should [Am] go stay [F] on [G7]
Just trying to [C] build a peaceful [F] life where love is [Em] free to [Am] grow
{c: }
But the [Em] point of a gun was the [Bm] only law
That [Em] Liberty under[F]sto[G7]od
When the [C] final showdown [Am] came to pass [F] a law book was no [C] good
{c: }
Alone and a[C]fraid she prayed that [F] he'd return
That [Em] fateful [Am] night oh that [F] night [G7]
When nothing she [C] said could keep her [F] man from going [Em] out to [Am] fight
{c: }
From the [Em] moment a girl gets to [Bm] be full grown
The [Em] very first thing she [F] lear[G7]ns
When [C] two men go out to [Am] face each other [F] only one re[C]turns
{c: }
[Am] Everyone [Em] heard two [Am] shots ring out
One [Em] shot made Liberty [F] fa[G7]ll
The [C] man who shot [Am] Liberty Valance
[C] He shot [Am] Liberty Valance [F] he was the bravest of them [C] all [G7]
{c: }
The [C] man who shot [Am] Liberty Valance
[C] He shot [Am] Liberty Valance [F] he was the bravest of them [C] all [G7] [C]
