CAPO THREE CHORDS RELATIVE TO CAPO D 'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war A I saw my first pistol in the general store A In the general store, I was thirteen A D I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen D Asked if I could have it someday when I grew up A Mama dropped a dozen eggs and really blew up A Yeah she really blew up, I didn't understand D Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/steve-earle/377954.html ] CHORUS: G The devil's right hand D G D The devil's right hand A D Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand. My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt. Shoot as fast as lightnin' but she'd load a might slow. Load a might slow. I soon found out It'll get you into trouble, but it can't get you out. So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45. It was called a Peacemaker, but i never knew why. Never knew why, I didn't understand. Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand. CHORUS: Well I got into a card game in a company town Caught a miner cheatin' and I shot the dog down I shot the dog down, I watched the man fall Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw The trial was in the morning and they drug me outta bed They asked me how I pleaded, "not guilty," I said Not guilty I said, you got the wrong man Nothin' touched the trigger but the devil's right hand CHORUS:  |
