[C] [C] [C] [C]
[C] 'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war
I saw my first pistol in the general [G] store
In the general store, I was thirteen
I thought it was the finest thing I [C] ever had seen
[C] Asked if I could have it someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew [G] up
Yeah, she really blew up, I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the [C] devil's right hand
The [F] devil's right hand
The [C] devil's [F] right [C] hand
[G] Mama said the pistol is the [C] devil's right hand
[F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
My [C] very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but she loads a mite [G] slow
Loads a mite slow, I soon found out
It'll get you into trouble but it [C] can't get you out
So [C] then I went and bought myself a Colt .45
It was called a Peacemaker, but I never knew [G] why
Never knew why, I didn't understand
Mama says the pistol is the [C] devil's right hand
The [F] devil's right hand
The [C] devil's [F] right [C] hand
[G] Mama said the pistol is the [C] devil's right hand
The [F] devil's right hand
The [C] devil's [F] right [C] hand
[G] Mama said the pistol is the [C] devil's right hand

Well, I [D] got into a card game in a company town
Caught a miner cheatin', I shot the dog [A] down
I shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
Never touched his holster, never [D] had a chance to draw
The [D] trial was in the morning and they drug me outta bed
Asked me how I pleaded, "not guilty" I [A] said
Not guilty I said, you got the wrong man
Nothin' touched the trigger but the [D] devil's right hand
The [G] devil's right hand
The [D] devil's [G] right [D] hand
[A] Mama said the pistol is the [D] devil's right hand
The [G] devil's right hand
The [D] devil's [G] right [D] hand
[A] Nothin' touched the trigger but the [D] devil's right hand
[G]
[D] [G] [D]
[A] Mama said the pistol is the [D] devil's right hand [D]
