   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. 

      C                      F          C 
    l 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 devl´ 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, 
     G                      C 
    Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand. 

      C                     F         C 
   My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt, 
                                   G          C 
    shoot as fast as lightning but it loads a mite slow. 
                             F        C 
    It loads a mite slow and I soon found out, 
                                  G              C 
    it can get you into trouble but it can't get you out. 

    C                            F C 
   Then I went and bought myself a Colt 45, 
                            G         C 
    called a peacemaker but I didn 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, 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 miner cheating 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. 
       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 
    nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand. 

         F                     C 
    Not guilty, I said, you've got the wrong man, 
     G                              C 
    nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand. 
        F                   C 
    the devil's right hand, the devil's right hand, 
     G                              C 
    nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand.
