Devil's Right Hand Acordes

  About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war 
                               B 
  I saw my first pistol in the general store 
 
  In the general store, when I was thirteen 
                                    E 
  Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen 
 
  I asked if I could have one someday when I grew up 
  Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up 
  She really blew up and I didn't understand 
  Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand 

      A                       E 
  The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand 
  B                           E

  My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt 
  Shoot as fast as lightin' but it loads a mite slow 
  Loads a mite slow and soon I found out 
  It get you into trouble but it can't get you out 
 
  So, then I went and bought myself a Colt .45 
  Called a peacemaker, but I never knew why 
  Never knew why, I didn't understand 
  Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand 
 
Repeat Chorus Twice / Verse Break / Modulate to F# 
 
  Well, I got into a card game in a company town 
  Caught a miner cheating, I shot the dog down 
  Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall 
  Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw 
 
  The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of 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 devil's right hand 
 
 
Repeat Chorus Twice - but end second with "nothing touched the trigger...
