       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
VERSE:
  C                          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: - (FOLLOWS SIMILAR PATTERN TO VERSES AS FAR AS Palm Muting, ETC.)
     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

Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

VERSE:
   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
VERSE:
 C                               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

VERSE:
   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
VERSE:
     C                                 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
