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

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

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

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

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

    E                       B
I didnʼt knew why, I didnʼt understand
    F#                       B
Mama says the pistol is the devilʼs right hand
    E                       B
The devilʼs right hand, the devilʼs right hand
    F#                       B
Mama says the pistol is the devilʼs right hand

  B                               E   B
I got into a card game in a company town
  B                          F#       B
I caught a miner cheating, then shot the dog down
  B                    E             B
Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
  B                          F#       B
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw

  B                               E             B
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
  B                          F#       B
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
  B                       E             B
Not guilty I said, youʼve got the wrong man
  B                          F#       B
Nothing touched the trigger but the devilʼs right hand

    E                       B
Not guilty I said, youʼve got the wrong man
    F#                       B
Nothing touched the trigger but the devilʼs right hand
    E                       B
The devilʼs right hand, the devilʼs right hand
    F#                       B
Nothing touched the trigger but the devilʼs right hand
