 -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.
