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

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

   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

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

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

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
