Devils Right Hand Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

E'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war

I Esaw my first pistol in the general Bstore

In the Bgeneral store, I was thirteen

I Bthought it was the finest thing I Eever had seen

EAsked if I could have it someday when I grew up

Mama dropped a dozen eggs and really blew Bup

She Breally blew up, I didn't understand

BMama said the pistol is the Edevil's right hand

Chorus

The Adevil's right hand

The Edevil's Aright Ehand

BMama said the pistol is the Edevil's right hand.

My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt.

Shoot as fast as lightnin' but she'd load a might slow.

Load a might slow. I soon found out it'll

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

Well I F♯got into a card game in a company town

F♯Caught a miner cheatin' and I shot the dog C♯down

I C♯shot the dog down, I watched the man fall

C♯Never touched his holster, never F♯had a chance to draw

The F♯trial was in the morning and they drug me outta bed

They F♯asked me how i pleaded, not guilty I C♯said

Not C♯guilty I said, you got the wrong man

C♯Nothin touched the trigger but the F♯devils right hand

Chorus
