Standard (EADGBE)

 When Liberty Valance rode to town

 The womenfolk would hide, they'd hide

 When Liberty Valance walked around

 The men would step aside

 'Cause the point of a gun was the only law

 That Liberty understood

 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

 But the point of a gun was the only law

 That Liberty understood

 When the final showdown came to pass

 A law book was no good

Many a man would face his gun

 And many a man would fall

 The man who shot Liberty Valance

He shot Liberty Valance

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

 When the final showdown came to pass

 A law book was no good

 Alone and afraid, she prayed that he'd

 Return that fateful night, oh that night

 When nothing she said could keep her man

 From going out to fight

 From the moment a girl gets to be full grown

 The very first thing she learns

 When two men go out to face each other

Only one returns

Everyone heard two shots ring out

 The shot made Liberty fall

 The man who shot Liberty Valance

He shot Liberty Valance

He was the bravest of them all

 The man who shot Liberty Valance

He shot Liberty Valance

He was the bravest of them all
