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

CHORUS:

A augmentedA            E MajorE
She really blew up and I didn't understand
BB              E MajorE
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand
BB              E MajorE
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand


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

CHORUS:

A augmentedA           E MajorE
I never knew why and I didn't understand
BB              E MajorE
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand
BB              E MajorE
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

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


CHORUS:

A augmentedA         E MajorE
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
BB                  E MajorE
Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
The Devil'sright hand, the Devil's right hand
BB                  E MajorE
