	               A
	When Liberty Valance rode to town
	         B
	The womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
	               A
	When Liberty Valance walked around
	              C#m
	The men would step aside

Chorus 1:

	            D#m
	'Cause the point of a gun was the only law
	     B
	That Liberty understood
	         C#m
	When it came to shooting straight and fast
	A       [1: E  2: C#m, to bridge]
	  He was mighty good

	From out of the East a stranger came
	A law book in his hand, a man
	The kind of a man the West would need
	To tame a troubled land

[repeat chorus 1]

Bridge 1:

	C#m
	Many a man would face his gun
	    B

	The man who shot Liberty Valance
	C#m
	  He shot Liberty Valance
	E)
	  He was the bravest of them all

	The love of a girl can make a man stay on
	When he should go, stay on
	Just trying to build a peaceful life
	Where love is free to grow

Chorus 3:

	But the point of a gun was the only law
	That Liberty understood
	When the final showdown came to pass
	                   C7
	A law book was no good

	             Bb
	Alone and afraid, she prayed that he'd
	             C
	Return that fateful night, oh that night
	                  Bb
	When nothing she said could keep her man
	           Dm
	From going out to fight

Chorus 4:

	         Em
	From the moment a girl gets to be full grown
	     C
	The very first thing she learns
	      Dm
	When two men go out to face each other
	Dm
	   Only one returns
