  C                               F             C
Well, about the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
  C                          G       C
I saw my first pistol in the general store
  C                        F         C
In the general store, when I was thirteen
  C                                 G        C
I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen

     C                       F           C
I asked if I could have one when I grew up
  C                          G       C
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew
  C                         F             C
She really blew up, and she didnʼt understand
  C                          G       C
Mama said the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

    F                       C
She really blew up, and she didnʼt understand
  G                         C
Mama said the pistol is the devilʼs right hand
    F                       C
The devilʼs right hand, the devilʼs right hand
    G                       C
Mama says the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

  C                        F             C
Me very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
  C                          G       C
Shoots as fast as lightninʼ but it loads a mite slow
  C                       F             C
It loads a mite slow, and soon I found out
  C                          G       C
It can get you into trouble but it canʼt get you out

  C                               F           C
So about a year later I bought  myself a Colt 45
  C                          G       C
Called a peacemaker but I didnʼt know why
  C                 F             C
I never knew why, I didnʼt understand
  C                               G       C
Cause mama says the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

    F                       C
I didnʼt knew why, I didnʼt understand
    G                       C
Mama says the pistol is the devilʼs right hand
    F                       C
The devilʼs right hand, the devilʼs right hand
    G                       C
Mama says the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

  C                               F   C
I got into a card game in a company town
  C                          G       C
I caught a miner cheating, then shot the dog down
  C                    F             C
Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
  C                          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
  C                          G       C
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
  C                       F             C
Not guilty I said, youʼve got the wrong man
  C                          G       C
Nothing touched the trigger but the devilʼs right hand

    F                       C
Not guilty I said, youʼve got the wrong man
    G                       C
Nothing touched the trigger but the devilʼs right hand
    F                       C
The devilʼs right hand, the devilʼs right hand
    G                       C
Nothing touched the trigger but the devilʼs right hand
