The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Recorded by Gene Pitney
Written by Burt F. Bacharach and Hal David 

C            Am              F
When Liberty Valance rode to town 
         Em         Am            F    G7
The womenfolk would hide   they'd hide
             C               F
When Liberty Valance walked around 
              Em   Am
The men would step aside
          Em         Am          Em   G7
Cause the point of a gun was the only law 
     Em           F  G7
That Liberty understood
        C       Em       Am
When it came to shooting straight and fast
F             C
He was mighty good

                Am              F
From out of the east a stranger came 
           Em     Am       F   G7
A law book in his hand   a man
              C                  F
The kind of a man the west would need 
          Em       Am
To tame a troubled land
          Em         Am          Em   G7
Cause the point of a gun was the only law 
     Em           F  G7
That Liberty understood
        C       Em       Am
When it came to shooting straight and fast
F             C
He was mighty good

Am     Em        Am       Em
Many a man would face his gun and
Am     Em        F  G7
Many a man would fall
        C       Em   Am      Em
But the man who shot Liberty Valance
Am Em   Am      Em
He shot Liberty Valance
F                          C
He was the bravest of them all

              Am              F
The love of a girl can make a man stay on
     Em        Am        F  G7
When he should go   stay on
               C                F
Just trying to build a peaceful life
              Em      Am
Where love is free to grow
        Em         Am          Em   G7
But the point of a gun was the only law 
     Em           F  G7
That Liberty understood
         C     Em       Am
When the final showdown came to pass
F                 C
A law book was no good

          Am                     F
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return 
     Em      Am                F     G7
That fateful night   awww that night
                 C                   F
When nothing she said could keep her man 
           Em     Am
From going out to fight
         Em       Am           Em      G7
From the moment a girl gets to be full grown
    Em                   F    G7
The very first thing she learns
     C          Em     Am               F        Am
When two men go out to face each other  only one returns

Am       Em        Am         Em      Am        Em      F  G7
Everyone heard two shots ring out one shot made Liberty fall
    C       Em   Am      Em      Am Em   Am      Em
The man who shot Liberty Valance he shot Liberty Valance
F                          C   Am
He was the bravest of them all
    C       Em   Am      Em      Am Em   Am      Em
The man who shot Liberty Valance he shot Liberty Valance
F                          C
He was the bravest of them all
