VI.Johnny Cash
      E
About the time that daddy went to fight the big war
                                     B
I saw my first pistol in the general store

In the general store I was thirteen
                                           E
Thought It was the finest thing I ever had seen

VII.Willie Nelson
     E
So I asked If I could have one some day when I grew up
                                             B
Momma dropped a dozzen eggs she really blew up

She really blew up Ididnt understand
                                          E
Momma said the pistol Is the devils right hand


CHORUS.All Togeather

       A                    E
The devils right hand the devils right hand
       B                         E
Momma said the pistol is the devils right hand


VIII.Kris Kristoferson

      E
My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt
                                                  B
Shoots as fast as lightining but It loads a mighty slow

Loads mighty slow and I found out
                                                E
It can get you into trouble But It cant get you out


VIV.Waylon Jennings R.I.P

      E
So then I went and bought my self a colt Fourty five
                                      B
Called a peace maker but i never knew why

I never knew why I understand
                                              E
Cuz momma said the pistol is the devils right hand

Well I got into a card game In a company town

Momma said the pistol is the devils right hand
