(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.
