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

 	 Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand

 	 Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
