(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance
Burt Bacharach - Hal David
E A G#m C#m A B
When Liberty Valance rode to town, the women folk would hide, they'd hide
E A G#m C#m
When Liberty Valance walked around, the men would step aside
G#m D#m G#m A B
Because the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
E G#m C#m A E
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#m G#m C#m G#m A B
Many a man would face his gun, and many a man would fall.
E G#m C#m E G#m C#m
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance,
A C#m A 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
But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
E C7
When the final showdown came to pass, a law book was no good
F Bb Am Dm
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night,
Bb C
ahh that night
F Bb Am Dm
When nothing she said could keep her man from going out to fight
Am Em Am Bb C
>From the moment a girl gets to be full grown, the very first thing she learns
F Am Dm Bb Dm
When two men go out to face each other, only one returns
Dm Am Dm Am Bb
Everyone heard two shots ring out, the shot made Liberty fall
F Am Dm F Am Dm
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance,
Bb Dm C
he was the bravest of them all.
F Am Dm F Am Dm
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance,
Bb Dm
he was the bravest of them all.
