Devils Right Hand

     E                             
Well about the time my daddy left 
  A             E
to fight the big war
                           B       
Saw my first pistol in the general 
E
store
                          A    
In the general store when I was 
 E
thirteen
Thought it was the finest thing I 
B        E
ever had seen
                            A      
I asked if I could have one when I 
     E
grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she 
B           E
really blew up
                         A     
She really blew up and I didn't 
      E
understand
                            B      
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's
       E
 right hand

[Chorus]
A                        E
She really blew up and I didn't 
understand
B                           E
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand
    A                       E
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's 
right hand
B                           E
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand

   E                       A      
My very first pistol was a cap 'n'
      E
 ball Colt
Shoots as fast as lightning but it 
B             E
loads a might slow
                            A   
It loads a might slow and I soon 
       E
found out
It can get you into trouble but it 
B             E
can't get you out
                                A  
Then I went and bought myself a 
    E
Colt .45
                            B      
Called a "Peacemaker" but I didn't 
     E
know why
                       A     
I never knew why and I didn't 
      E
understand
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the 
B             E
Devil's right hand

[Chorus]
A                      E
I never knew why and I didn't 
understand
B                           E
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand
    A                       E
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's 
right hand
B                           E
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand

[Verse]
      E                     A     
I got into a card game in a 
  E
company town
                              B    
Caught a minor cheatin' and I shot 
        E
the dog down
                   A               
Shot the dog down, watched the dog 
 E
fall
                                 B 
Never touched his holster, never 
              E
had a chance to draw
The Trial was in the morning and 
     A              E
they drug me out of bed
                            B      
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty 
  E
I said
                          A      
Not guilty I said, you've got the 
       E
wrong man
Nothin' touched the trigger but the 
B             E
Devil's right hand

[Chorus]
A                  E
Not guilty I said, you've got the 
wrong man
B                                 
Nothin' touched the trigger but 
  E
the Devil's right hand
    A                      E
The Devil'sright hand, the Devil's 
right hand
B                                 
Nothin' touched the trigger but 
  E
the Devil's right hand
