[Verse 1]
A Em When Liberty Valance rode to town Bm7 G The womenfolk would hide, they'd hide D When Liberty Valance walked around Bm7 The men would step aside
[Chorus]
A 'Cause the point of a gun was the only law F#m A That Liberty understood Em When it came to shooting straight and fast Bm7 D He was mighty good
[Verse 2]
G From out of the East a stranger came D Bm7 G A law book in his hand, a man A G The kind of a man the West would need Bm7 To tame a troubled land
[Chorus]
A 'Cause the point of a gun was the only law F#m A That Liberty understood Em When it came to shooting straight and fast G D He was mighty good
[Bridge]
D Many a man would face his gun A And many a man would fall D The man who shot Liberty Valance Bm7 He shot Liberty Valance G Bm7 G D He was the bravest of them all
[Verse 3]
D The love of a girl can make a man stay on Bm7 G When he should go, stay on D Just trying to build a peaceful life Bm7 Where love is free to grow
[Chorus]
A But the point of a gun was the only law F#m A That Liberty understood Em When the final showdown came at last G D A law book was no good
[Verse 4]
D Alone and afraid, she prayed that he'd Bm7 G Return that fateful night, oh that night D When nothing she said could keep her man Bm7 From going out to fight
[Chorus]
A From the moment a girl gets to be full grown F#m A The very first thing she learns Em When two men go out to face each other G D Only one returns
[Verse 5]
D Everyone heard two shots ring out Bm7 G One shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valence
D He shot Liberty Valance Bm7 D He was the bravest of them all
