Verse 1:(Johnny Cash)

E

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

Verse 2:(Willie Nelson)

E

So i asked if i could have one some day when i grew up

B

Mama dropped a dozen eggs,she really blew up

She really blew up and i didn't understand

E

Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Chorus:(All together)

A E

The devil's right hand,the devil's right hand

B E

Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Verse 3:(Kris Kristofferson)

E

My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt

B

Shoots as fast as lightin' but it loads a mighty slow

Loads a mighty slow and soon i found out

E

It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out

Verse 4:(Waylon Jennings)

E

So then i went and bought myself a colt 45

B

Called a peacemaker but i never knew why

Never knew why,i didn't understand

E

'Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Verse 5:(a tone higher)

F#

Well i got into a card game in a company town

C#

Caught a miner cheating i shot the dog down

Shot the dog down,watched the man fall

F#

Never touched his holster never had a chance to draw

The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed

C#

Asked me how i pleaded,not guilty i said

Not guilty i said,you've got the wrong man

F#

Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
