[Verse 1]
G A D Bm
When Liberty Valance came to town

Womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
A D Bm
When Liberty Valance walked around

The men would step aside

Because the point of a gun
A C#m
Was the only law

That Liberty understood

When it came to shooting

Straight and fast

Well he was mighty good

From out of the east

A stranger came
F#m7 Bm
A law book in his hand

A man, the kind of a man

The west would need

To ease a troubled land

[Verse 3]
G A D
Now the love of a woman
Bm
Can make a man stay on
F#m7 Bm G
When he should go, stay on
A D Bm
Just trying to build a peaceful life
F#m7 Bm
Where love is free to grow
F#m E/G#
Because the point of a gun
A C#m
Was the only law

Alone and afraid

She prayed that he'd return
F#m7 Bm G
That fateful night, that night
A D
Nothing she said
Bm
Could keep her man
F#m7 Bm
Going out to fight
F#m E/G#
But the point of a gun
A Bm
Was the only law
F#m G A
That Liberty understood
D A/C#
When the final showdown
Bm G
Came to pass
Em7 A Bm
A law book was no good
[Chorus]

Out in the sun two shots ring out

A shot made Liberty fall
