The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence

Gene Pitney

 EAG#mC#mAB
When Liberty Valance rode to town, the women folk would hide, they'd hide 
 EAG#mC#m
When Liberty Valance walked around, the men would step aside
 G#mD#mG#mAB
Because the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood 
 EG#mC#mAE
When it came to shooting straight and fast, 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
'Cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
 C#m
When it came to shooting straight and fast, he was mighty good.
 C#mG#mC#mG#mAB
 Many a man would face his gun, and many a man would fall. 
 EG#mC#mEG#mC#m
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance,
 AC#mAE
 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
But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
 EC7
When the final showdown came to pass, a law book was no good 
 FBbAmDm
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night,
 BbC
         ahh that night  
 FBbAmDm
When nothing she said could keep her man from going out to fight
 AmEmAmBbC
From the moment a girl gets to be full grown, the very first thing she learns 
 FAmDmBbDm
When two men go out to face each other, only one returns
 DmAmDmAmBb
 Everyone heard two shots ring out, the shot made Liberty fall
 FAmDmFAmDm
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance,
 BbDmC
 he was the bravest of them all. 
 FAmDmFAmDm
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance,
 BbDm
 he was the bravest of them all.
