Even though this song has many different covers, Bob Seger really did a good job on this one.
It doesn't have the strict country feel. This one has a classic rock/road tune kind of feel.
I think the organ/keyboard in the back adds Seger's signature to this song.
Song:
G 'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war G D Saw my first pistol in a general store D In a general store, when I was thirteen D G Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen G So I asked if I could have one someday when I grew up D Mama dropped a dozen eggs she really blew up D She really blew up, she didn't understand D G Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand
Chorus:
C The devil's right hand G C G The devil's right hand D G Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand. G My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt. G D Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a might slow. D Loads a might slow. And soon I found out it'll D G Get you into trouble,but it can't get you out. G Bought a year later bought got a colt 45. G D Called a peace maker, but I never knew why. D I never knew why, I didn't understand. D G Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand. C The devil's right hand G C G The devil's right hand D G Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand C The devil's right hand G C G The devil's right hand D G Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand
*Interlude*
G Got into a card game in a crumbling town G D Caught a miner cheating so I shot the dog down D Shot the dog down, watched the man fall D G Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw G The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed G D Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said D Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man D G Nothing touched the pistol but the devil's right hand C The devil's right hand G C G The devil's right hand D G Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand C The devil's right hand G C G The devil's right hand D G Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand
