Well about the time my daddy left to fight the big war
                            G        C
Saw my first pistol in the general store
                          F          C
In the general store when I was thirteen
                                  G         C
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
VERSE:
  C                          F          C
I asked if I could have one when I grew up
                                   G          C
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she really blew up
                          F            C
She really blew up and I didn't understand
                             G             C
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

VERSE:
   C                        F            C
My very first pistol was a cap 'n' ball Colt
                                    G             C
Shoots as fast as lightning but it loads a might slow
                             F          C
It loads a might slow and I soon found out
                                    G            C
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
VERSE:
 C                               F     C
Then I went and bought myself a Colt .45
                             G           C
Called a "Peacemaker" but I didn't know why
                        F            C
I never knew why and I didn't understand
                                    G             C
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

VERSE:
   C                         F       C
I got into a card game in a company town
                               G            C
Caught a minor cheatin' and I shot the dog down
                    F               C
Shot the dog down, watched the dog fall
                                  G               C
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw

The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
                             G        C
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
                           F            C
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
                                     G             C
