[Verse 1]
---------------------
       C                              F             C
Well, about the time my daddy left to fight the big war
                           G            C
Saw my first pistol in the general store
                            F        C
In the general store, when I was thirteen
                                  G        C
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
                            F             C
I asked if I could have one when I grew up
                                  G           C
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she really blew up
                         F           C
She really blew up and I didn't understand
                            G             C
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    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

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C     C                     F          C
 My very first pistol was a capandball Colt
                                  G            C
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
                           F          C
It loads a mite slow and I soon found out
                                   G             C
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
                                F           C
Then I went and bought myself a Colt fourty five
                          G           C
Called a Peacemaker but I didn't know why
                       F           C
I never knew why and I didn't understand
                                   G             C
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
  F                 C
I never knew why, 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

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C        C                   F       C
 I got into a card game in a company town
                              G            C
Caught a miner cheating and I shot the dog down
                          F        C
Shot the dog down, watched the dog fall
                                 G               C
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
                                      F              C
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
                            G        C
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
                          F             C
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
                                    G             C
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    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
