Devils Right Hand

E
'Bout the time my daddy left to 
fight the big war
  E                                
I saw my first pistol in the 
  B
general store
       B
In the general store, when I was 
thirteen
  B                                
I thought it was the finest thing I
 E
 ever had seen
E
Asked if I could have one someday 
when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she 
            B
really blew up
    B
Really blew up, I didn't understand
B                           E
Mama said the pistol is the devil's 
right hand

[Chorus]
    A
The devil's right hand
    E       A     E
The devil's right hand
B                           E
Mama said the pistol is the devil's 
right hand.

[Verse]
My very first pistol was a cap and 
ball Colt.
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but she'd
 loads a might slow.
Loads a might slow. I soon found out

Get you into trouble, but it can't 
get you out.
So then I went and bought myself a 
Colt 45.
It was called a peace maker, but I 
never knew why.
Never knew why, I didn't understand.
Mama says the pistol is the devil's 
right hand.

[Chorus]
    A
The devil's right hand
    E       A     E
The devil's right hand
B                           E
Mama said the pistol is the devil's 
right hand.

Well I got into a card game in a 
company town

the dog down
  C#
I shot the dog down, I watched the 
man fall
C#                               
Never touched his holster, never had

 a chance to draw
    F#
My trial was in the morning and they
 drug me outta bed
     F#                         
They asked me how I pleaded, not 
          C#
guilty I said
    C#
Not guilty I said, you got the wrong
 man
C#                                 
Nothin' touched the trigger but the
