Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][A][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
When Liberty [D]Val
[A]ance [D]rode to [G]town
[Bm]The womenfolk would hide,
they'd [G]hide[A]
When Liberty [D]Valance [A]walked [G]around
The [D]men would [F#m]step a[Bm]side[F#m]

[Verse 2]
'Cause the [F#m]point of a [A]gun
was the [C#m]only law
That [F#m]Liberty under[G]stood
[A]When it cam[D]e to shoot
[Bm]ing straight and f[G]ast
He was [Bm]mighty good
[D]

[Verse 3]
From [A]out of the [D]East a stranger [G]came
A law book in [D]his [Bm]hand, a [G]man[A]
The kind of a [D]man the West would [G]need
To tame a troubled [Bm]land

[Verse 4]
'Cause the [F#m]point of a gun
was the [C#m]only law
That [F#m]Liberty under[G]stood
[A]When it cam[D]e to [F#m]shooting
[Bm]straight and [G]fast
He was [Bm]mighty good

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Many a [F#m]man would fa[Bm]ce his gun
And many a man would [G]fall
[A]The man[D] who sho[F#m]t Libe[Bm]rty Valance
He shot Liberty Valance
[G]He was the bravest of

[Interlude 1]
them all
[D][Bm][G][D]
[A]The love of a girl

[Verse 6]
[D]can make
a [G]man stay on
When [D]he should [Bm]go, stay [G]on[A]
Just trying to [D]build a peaceful [G]life
Where love is [D]free to [Bm]grow

[Verse 7]
But the [F#m]point of a gun was the [C#m]only law
That [F#m]Liberty under[G]stood
[A]When the fin[D]al sho[F#m]wdown cam[Bm]e at las[G]t
A law book [Cm]was n[Bm]o good
[D]

[Verse 8]
[Bb]
Alone and afraid,
[Eb]she prayed that he'd[Ab]
Return that [G]fateful [Cm]night,
oh that [Ab]night[Bb]
When nothing she [Eb]said
could keep her [Ab]man
From going out [Cm]to fight

[Verse 9]
From the [Cm]moment [Gm]a girl gets
to [Dm]be full grown
[Gm]The very first thing [Cm]she l[Ab]earns
[Bb]When [Eb]two men g[Cm]o out to
face each [Ab]other
Only one [Cm]returns

[Verse 10]
[Cm]Everyone heard two shots ring out
One shot made Liberty fall
The [Eb]man who [Cm]shot Liberty Valence
He shot Liberty [Ab]Valance
He [Abm]was the br[Ab]avest
of them all
[Cm]

[Verse 11]
The man who shot Liberty Valance
He shot Liberty [Ab]Valance

[Outro 1]
He was the bravest of them all
[Cm]
