Devils Right Hand - Johnny Cash
Verse 1:
Well [C] about the time my daddy left to [F] fight the big [C] war
Saw my first pistol in the [G] general [C] store
In the general store when [F] I was thir[C]teen
Thought it was the finest thing I [G] ever had [C] seen
Verse 2:
I [C] asked if I could have one [F] when I grew [C] up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she [G] really blew [C] up
She really blew up and I [F] didn't under[C]stand
Mama said the pistol is the [G] Devil's right [C] hand
|[Chorus]
|She [F] really blew up and I [C] didn't understand
|[G] Mama said the pistol is the [C] Devil's right hand
|The [F] Devil's right hand, the [C] Devil's right hand
|[G] Mama said the pistol is the [C] Devil's right hand

Verse 3:
My [C] very first pistol was a [F] cap 'n' ball [C] Colt
Shoots as fast as lightning but it [G] loads a might [C] slow
It loads a might slow and I [F] soon found [C] out
It can get you into trouble but it [G] can't get you [C] out
Verse 4:
[C] Then I went and bought myself a [F] Colt [C] .45
Called a "Peacemaker" but I [G] didn't know [C] why
I never knew why and I [F] didn't under[C]stand
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the [G] Devil's right [C] hand
[Chorus]

Verse 5:
I [C] got into a card game in a [F] company [C] town
Caught a minor cheatin' and I [G] shot the dog [C] down
Shot the dog down, [F] watched the dog [C] fall
Never touched his holster, never [G] had a chance to [C] draw
Verse 6:
The [C] trial was in the morning and they [F] drug me out of [C] bed
Asked me how I pleaded, not [G] guilty I [C] said
Not guilty I said, you've [F] got the wrong [C] man
Nothin' touched the trigger but the [G] Devil's right [C] hand
|[Chorus]
|Not [F] guilty I said, you've [C] got the wrong man
|[G] Nothin' touched the trigger but the [C] Devil's right hand
|The [F] Devil'sright hand, the [C] Devil's right hand
