The Devils Right Hand

 G
'Bout the time my daddy left to 
fight the big war
  G                             
Saw my first pistol in a general 
   D
store
       D
In a general store, when I was 
thirteen
  D                              
Thought it was the finest thing I 
  G
ever had seen
      G
So I asked if I could have one 
someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs she really
      D
 blew up
    D
She really blew up, she didn't 
understand
D                           G
Mama said the pistol was the devil's
 right hand


Chorus:

    C
The devil's right hand
    G       C     G
The devil's right hand
D                           G
Mama said the pistol was the devil's
 right hand.

    G
My very first pistol was a cap and 
ball colt.
 G                               
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it 
                 D
loads a might slow.

        D
Loads a might slow. And soon I found
 out it'll
   D                          G
Get you into trouble,but it can't 
get you out.
   G
Bought a year later bought got a 
colt 45.
   G                             
Called a peace maker, but I never 
       D
knew why.
 D
I never knew why, I didn't 
understand.
D                           G

*Interlude*

 G
Got into a card game in a crumbling 
town
  G                              
Caught a miner cheating so I shot 
           D
the dog down
  D
Shot the dog down, watched the man 
fall
  D                                
Never touched his holster, never had
G
 a chance to draw

   G
The trial was in the morning and 
they drug me out of bed
  G                                
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty 
   D
I said
 D
Not guilty I said, you've got the 
wrong man
  D                                
Nothing touched the pistol but the 
  G
devil's right hand

      C
The devil's right hand
      G       C    G
The devil's right hand
 D                                 
Nothing touched the trigger but the
   G
 devil's right hand

     C
The devil's right hand
      G       C    G
The devil's right hand
 D                             G
