  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
