-1 -1*-1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
When Lib-er-ty Val-ance rode to town
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
The wom-en folk would hide, they’d hide.
-1 -1*-1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
When Lib-er-ty Val-ance walked a-round
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4
The men would step a-side
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* 4 -3* 3 -3 3 -2
Cause the point of a gun was the on-ly law
-2 3 -3 -3*-3* -5 5 -5
That lib-er-ty un-der-stood.
-5 -5 -5* -5* -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When it came to shoot-in’ straight and fast,
3 -2 -1* 1 -1*
He was might-y good.
-1 -1* -2 -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
From out of the east a stran-ger came,
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
A law book in his hand, a man.
-1 -1* -1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
The kind of a man the west would need
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 3
To tame a trou-bled land;
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* 4 -3* 3 -3 3 -2
Cause the point of a gun was the on-ly law
-2 3 -3 -3*-3* -5 5
That lib-er-ty un-der-stood.
-5 -5 -5* -5 -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When it came to shoot-in’ straight and fast,
3 -2 -1* 1 1
He was might-y good.
-5 -5 -5* -5 -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When it came to shoot-in’ straight and fast,
3 -2 -1* 1 1
He was might-y good.
4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5* 4
Man-y a man would face his gun
3 -3*-3*-3* 4 -5 4-3*
And man-y a man would fall,
-3* -5* -5* -3* -5* -5 4 -3* 4
The man who shot Lib-er-ty Val-ance,
-5* -3* -5* -5 4 -3* 4
He shot Lib-er-ty Val-ance,
4 -3* 3 4 -3* -1* -2 3
He was the brav-est of them all.
-1 -1* -2 -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
The love of a girl can make a man
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
Stay on when he should go, stay on.
-1 -1* -1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
Just try-in’ to build a peace-ful life
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4
Where love is free to grow;
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* 4 -3* 3 -3 3 -2
But the point of a gun was the on-ly law
-2 3 -3 -3*-3* -5 5
That lib-er-ty un-der-stood.
-5 -5 -5* -5* -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When the fi-nal show-down came at last
-1* 3 -2 -1* 1 -1*
A law book was no good.
-1 -1* -2 -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
A-lone and a-fraid she prayed that he’d
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
Re-turn that fate-ful night, that night.
-1 -1* -1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
When noth-ing she said could keep her man
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4
From go-in` out to fight.
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* 4
From the mo-ment a girl
-3* 3 -3 3 -2
Gets to be full grown
-2 3 -3 -3* -3* -5 5 -5
The ver-y first thing she learns
-5 -5 -5*-5* -5 -3* 4 4 3 -2-1*
When two men go out to face each oth-er,
3 -2 -1* 1 1
On-ly one re-turns.
4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5* 4
Ev-`ry-one heard two shots ring out,
3 -3* -3* 4 4 -5 4
One shot made lib-er-ty fall
-3* -5* -5* -3* -5* -5 4 -3* 4
The man who shot Lib-er-ty Val-ance,
-5* -3* -5* -5 4 -3* 4
He shot Lib-er-ty Val-ance,
4 -3* 3 4 -3* 1 -1* 3
He was the brav-est of them all.
