I saw my first pistol in the general store
C F C
In the general store, when I was thirteen
C G C
I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
C F C
I asked if I could have one when I grew up
C G C
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew
C F C
She really blew up, and she didn't understand
C G C
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
F C
She really blew up, and she 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

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

So about a year later I bought myself a Colt 45
C G C
Called a peacemaker but I didn't know why
C F C
I never knew why, I didn't understand
C G C
Cause mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

I got into a card game in a company town
C G C
I caught a miner cheating, then shot the dog down
C F C
Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
C G C
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
C F C
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
C G C
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
C F C
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
C G C
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
F C
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
G C
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
F C
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
G C
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
