[Verse 1]
A[D]bout the time my daddy left
to fight the big war
Saw my first pistol
in the general [A]store
The general store,
when I was thirteen
Thought it was the finest thing
I ev[D]er had seen

[Verse 2]
I [D]asked if I could have one
some day when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs,
she really blew [A]up
She really blew up
and I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol
is the dev[D]il's right hand

[Chorus 1]
The [G]devil's right hand,
the [D]devil's [G]right [D]hand
[A]Mama said the pistol
is the [D]devil's right hand

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
My [D]very first pistol
was a cap and ball Colt
Shoots like lightning
but it loads a mite [A]slow
Loads a mite slow
and I soon found out
It can get you into trouble
but it [D]can't get you out

[Verse 4]
So [D]then I went and bought myself
a Colt forty- five
Called a "peacemaker,"
but I never knew [A]why
I never knew why,
I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol
is the dev[D]il's right hand

[Chorus 2]
The [G]devil's right hand,
the [D]devil's [G]right [D]hand
[A]Mama said the pistol
is the [D]devil's right hand
The [G]devil's right hand,
the [D]devil's [G]right [D]hand
[A]Mama said the pistol
is the [D]devil's right hand

[Verse 5]
I [E]got into a card game
in a Cumberland town
Caught a miner cheating
and I shot the dog [B]down
Shot the dog down,
watched the man fall
Never touched his holster
never [E]had a chance to draw

[Verse 6]
The [E]trial was in the morning
and they drug me outta bed
Asked me how I pleaded,
"Not guilty," I said
"Not guilty," I said,
"you've got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger
but the [E]devil's right hand"

[Chorus 3]
The [A]devil's right hand,
the [E]devil's [A]right [E]hand
[B]Nothing touched the trigger
but the [E]devil's right hand
The [A]devil's right hand,
the [E]devil's [A]right [E]hand
[B]Nothing touched the trigger
but the [E]devil's right hand
[A][E][A][E]
[B]Mama said the pistol
is the [E]devil's right hand
