    E
About the time that daddy left to fight the big war
                                      B
I saw my first pistol in the general store

In the general store,when i was thirteen
                                            E
Thought it was the finest thing i ever had seen

   E
So i asked if i could have one some day when i grew up
                                         B
Mama dropped a dozen eggs,she really blew up

She really blew up and i didnʼt understand
                                           E
Mama said the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

Chorus:
        A                   E
The devilʼs right hand,the devilʼs right hand
     B                        E
Mama said the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

    E
My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt
                                                 B
Shoots as fast as lightinʼ but it loads a mighty slow

Loads a mighty slow and soon i found out
                                                E
It can get you into trouble but it canʼt get you out

    E
So then i went and bought myself a colt 45
                                     B
Called a peacemaker but i never knew why

Never knew why,i didnʼt understand
                                                  E
ʼCause Mama said the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

Chorus. x2

   F#
Well i got into a card game in a company town
                                        C#
Caught a miner cheating i shot the dog down

Shot the dog down,watched the man fall
                                                 F#
Never touched his holster never had a chance to draw

The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
                                     C#
Asked me how i pleaded,not guilty i said

Not guilty i said,youʼve got the wrong man
                                                   F#
Nothing touched the trigger but the devilʼs right hand

Chorus:
      B                     F#
The devilʼs right hand,the devilsʼs right hand
      C#                      F#
Mama said the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

      C#                       F#
Mama said the pistol is the devilʼs right hand
