 Subject: Song
 R.W. is the only one I know to have recorded this song, from the movie (The
 man who shot Liberty Valance.)
 The man who shot Liberty Valance    ( R.W. Hampton )
 (C) When Liberty Valance rode to town the women (Am) folk would hide...
 would (C) hide
 When Liberty Valance walked around the men would (Am) step aside
 Because (Dm)  the point of  a gun was the only law, Liberty under (G) stood
 When it (C) came to shootin straight and fast, (Dm) he was (G) mighty (C)
 good
 
 From out of the east a stranger came, a law book in (Am) his hand... a (C)
 man
 The kind of man the west would need to tame this (Am) troubled land
 Because (Dm) the point of a gun was the only law Liberty under (G) stood
 When it (C) came to shootin straight and fast (Dm) he was (G) mighty (C)
 good
 
 Many a men would (Am) face his gun, many (C) a men would (Am) fall
 The (C)  man who shot (Am) Liberty Valance, (C) he shot (Am) Liberty Valance
 He (Dm) was the brav (G) est of them (C) all
 
 The love of a girl can make a man stay on (Am) when he should go... stay (C)
 on
 Just trying to fill a peaceful life where love is (Am) free to grow
 But the (Dm) point of a gun was the only law Liberty under (G) stood
 When (C) the final showdown came at last, (Dm) a law book (G) was no (C)
 good
 
 A woman afraid she prayed that he'd return that (Am)  fateful night...awe
 that (C) night
 When nothing she said could keep her man from going (Am) out to fight
 From (Dm) the monent a girl gets to be full grown, the first thing she (G)
 learns
 When (C) two men go out to face each other, (Dm) only (G) one (C) returns
 
 Everyone heard two shots (Am) ring out, (C) the shot made Liberty (Am) fall
 The (C) man who shot (Am) Liberty Valance, (C) he shot (Am) Liberty Valance
 He (Dm) was the brav (G) est of them (C) all
 (slows) He (Dm) was the brav (G) est of them (C) all
