Devil's Right Hand Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]About the time my daddy
left to fight the big war
I saw my first pistol
in the general [D]store,
in the general store
When I was thirteen
I thought it was the finest
thing I ever [G]had seen
So I asked if I could have one
someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs
She really blew up[D],
yeah she really blew up
She didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the
[G]devil's right hand
The [C]devil's right hand,
the [G]devil's right hand
[D]Mama said the pistol is the
[G]devil's right hand
That very first pistol
was a cap 'n ball of coke
Shoot as fast as lightning
but it loads a might slow
[D]It loads a might slow
But soon I found out
it'll get you into trouble
But it [G]can't get you out
About a year later got a Colt .45
I called the peacemaker
but I never knew why
[D]I never knew why, I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the
[G]devil's right hand
The [C]devil's right hand,
the [G]devil's [C]right [G]hand
[D]Mama said the pistol is the
[G]devil's right hand
The [C]devil's right hand,
the [G]devil's [C]right [G]hand
[D]Mama said the pistol is the
[G]devil's right [D]hand
[G]
I got into a card game
in a cumberland town
Caught a minor cheatin'
so I shot the [D]dog down
Shot the dog down
Watched a man fall
Never touched his holster
Never [G]had a chance to go
The trial was [C]in the [G]morning
And they brought me out of bed
Asking how I'd made it
Not guilty I said
[D]Not guilty I said
You got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger
But the [G]devil's right hand
The [C]devil's right hand
The [G]devil's [C]right [G]hand
Noth[D]ing touched the trigger
But the [G]devil's right hand
The [C]devil's right hand
The [G]devil's right hand
[D]Mama said the pistol is the
[G]devil's right [D]hand
[G]
[D]
[G]You

[Outro 1]
