Tuning:G C E A
Capo:no capo
C F C
Well about the time my daddy left to fight the big war
G C
Saw my first pistol in the general store
F C
In the general store when I was thirteen
G C
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
F C
I asked if I could have one when I grew up
G C
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she really blew up
F C
She really blew up and I didn't understand
G C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
CHORUS:
F C
She really blew up and I didn't understand
G C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
F C
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand
G C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
C F C
My very first pistol was a cap 'n' ball Colt
G C
Shoots as fast as lightning but it loads a might slow
F C
It loads a might slow and I soon found out
G C
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
F C
Then I went and bought myself a Colt .45
G C
Called a "Peacemaker" but I didn't know why
F C
I never knew why and I didn't understand
G C
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
CHORUS:
F C
I never knew why and I didn't understand
G C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
F C
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand
G C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
C F C
I got into a card game in a company town
G C
Caught a minor cheatin' and I shot the dog down
F C
Shot the dog down, watched the dog fall
G C
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
F C
The Trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
G C
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
F C
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
G C
Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand
CHORUS:
F C
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
G C
Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand
F C
The Devil'sright hand, the Devil's right hand
G C
Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand
