From out of the ^CEast a stranger ^Fcame A law book ^Emin his ^Amhand, a ^Fman ^G The kind of a ^Cman the West would ^Fneed To tame a ^Emtroubled ^Amland But the ^Empoint of a gun was the ^Gmonly law That ^EmLiberty under^Fstood^G When the ^Cfinal ^Emshowdown ^Amcame to pass A law book ^Fwas no ^Cgood

^AmMany a ^Emman would ^Amface his gun And ^Emmany a man would ^Ffall ^G The ^Cman who ^Emshot ^AmLiberty Valance ^CHe ^Emshot ^AmLiberty Valance ^FHe was the bravest of them ^Call

The ^Clove of a girl can make a ^Fman stay on When ^Emhe should ^Amgo, stay ^Fon ^G Just trying to ^Cbuild a peaceful ^Flife Where love is ^Emfree to ^Amgrow But the ^Empoint of a gun was the ^Gmonly law That ^EmLiberty under^Fstood^G When the ^Cfinal ^Emshowdown ^Amcame to pass A law book ^Fwas no ^Cgood
