I ever had seen.

3. My very first pistol was a cap 
          C
and ball Colt,
    shoot as fast as lightning but 
    G            C
it loads a mite slow.
                                F  
    It loads a mite slow and I soon
       C
 found out,
    it can get you into trouble but 
    G            C
it can't get you out.
