The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance:
Gene Pitney.
#3 in Australia, #2 in Canada and #4 in USA in 1962.
INTRO: C#m E
#1.
E C#m A
When Liberty Valance rode to town
G#m C#m A B
the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide.
E A
When Liberty Valance walked around
G#m C#m
the men would step aside.
G#m C#m G#m B
Cause the point of a gun was the only law
G#m A B
that Liberty understood.
E G#m C#m
When it came to shootin' straight and fast...
A E
he was mighty good.
#2.
C#m A
From out of the East a stranger came,
G#m C#m A B
a law book in his hand, a man...
E A
The kind of a man the West would need
G#m C#m
to tame a troubled land.
G#m C#m G#m B
Cause the point of a gun was the only law
G#m A B
that Liberty understood.
E G#m C#m
When it came to shootin' straight and fast...
A E
he was mighty good.
CHORUS:
C#m G#m C#m G#m
Many a man would face his gun and
C#m G#m A B
many a man would fall.
E G#m C#m G#m
But the man who shot Liberty Valance,
C#m G#m C#m G#m
he shot Liberty Valance.
A E
He was the bravest of them all.
#3.
C#m A
The love of a girl can make a man stay on
G#m C#m A B
when he should go, stay on...
E A
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life
G#m C#m
where love is free to grow.
G#m C#m G#m B
But the point of a gun was the only law
G#m A B
that Liberty understood.
E G#m C#m
When the final showdown came to pass...
A E
a law book was no good.
#4.
Dm A#
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return
Am Dm A# C
that fateful night, awww, that night.
F A#
When nothin' she said could keep her man
Am Dm
from goin' out to fight.
Am Dm Am C
From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown,
Am A# C
the very first thing she learns..
F Am Dm A# Dm
when two men go out to face each other...only one returns.
#5.
Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am A# C
Everyone heard two shots ring out, one shot made Liberty fall.
F Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot, Liberty Valance..
A# F Dm
he was the bravest of them all.
OUTRO:
F Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot, Liberty Valance..
A# F
he was the bravest of them all.
