TUNING: EADGBe
E'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war
E BI saw my first pistol in the general store
- B
In the general store, I was thirteen
B E I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
EAsked if I could have it someday when I grew up
- B
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and really blew up
B She really blew up, I didn't understand
B EMama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
CHORUSAThe devil's right hand
E A EThe devil's right hand
- B E
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand.
My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt.
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but she'd load a might slow.
Load a might slow. I soon found out it'll
Get you into trouble,but it can't get you out.
So then I went and bought myself a colt 45.
It was called a peace maker, but i never knew why.
Never knew why, I didn't understand.
Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand.
- CHORUS
F# Well I got into a card game in a company town
F# C#Caught a miner cheatin' and I shot the dog down
- C#
I shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
C# F# Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
F#The trial was in the morning and they drug me outta bed
- F# C#
They asked me how i pleaded, not guilty I said
C# Not guilty I said, you got the wrong man
C# F#Nothin touched the trigger but the devils right hand
CHORUS- PLAY TOO ..
