( for original. Check out orig. on YouTube.) 

#1. 
C            Am              F 
When Liberty Valance rode to town  
         Em         Am           F    G 
the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide. 
             C               F 
When Liberty Valance walked around  
              Em    Am 
the men would step aside. 
          Em         Am          Em   G 
Cause the point of a gun was the only law  
     Em           F    G 
that Liberty understood. 
        C       Em       Am 
When it came to shootin' straight and fast... 
F             C 
he was mighty good. 

#2. 
                Am              F 
From out of the East a stranger came,  
           Em     Am      F   G 
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   G 
Cause the point of a gun was the only law  
     Em           F     G 
that Liberty understood. 
        C       Em       Am 
When it came to shootin' straight and fast... 
F             C 
he was mighty good. 

Chorus: 
Am     Em        Am       Em 
Many a man would face his gun and 
Am     Em        F    G 
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. 

#3. 
              Am              F 
The love of a girl can make a man stay on 
     Em        Am       F   G 
when he should go, stay on... 
               C                F 
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life 
              Em      Am 
where love is free to grow. 
        Em         Am          Em   G 
But the point of a gun was the only law  
     Em           F     G 
that Liberty understood. 
         C     Em       Am 
When the final showdown came to pass... 
F                 C 
a law book was no good. 

#4. 
          Am                     F 
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return  
     Em      Am                F     G 
that fateful night, awww, that night. 
                 C                   F 
When nothin' she said could keep her man  
           Em     Am 
from goin' out to fight. 
         Em       Am           Em      G 
From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown, 
    Em                   F      G 
the very first thing she learns.. 
     C          Em     Am                F        Am 
when two men go out to face each other...only one returns. 

#5. 
Am       Em        Am         Em       Am        Em      F   G  
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.
