The Devils Right Hand

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

CHORUS:

F                        C
She really blew up and I didn't 
understand
G                           C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand
    F                       C
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's 
right hand
G                           C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand

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

CHORUS:

F                      C
I never knew why and I didn't 
understand
G                           C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand
    F                       C
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's 
right hand
G                           C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's 
right hand


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


CHORUS:

F                  C
Not guilty I said, you've got the 
wrong man
G                                 
Nothin' touched the trigger but 
  C
the Devil's right hand
    F                      C
The Devil'sright hand, the Devil's 
right hand
G                                 
Nothin' touched the trigger but 
  C
the Devil's right hand
