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


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
