Tuning: E A D G B E
Even though this song has many different covers, Bob Seger really did a good job on this one. It doesn't have the strict country feel. This one has a classic rock/road tune kind of feel. I think the organ/keyboard in the back adds Seger's signature to this song. Standard Tuning - No Capo Song:
'GBout the time my daddy left to fight the big war SaGw my first pistol in a general stDore In a geDneral store, when I was thirteen ThDought it was the finest thing I eGver had seen So I aGsked if I could have one someday when I grew up Mama dropped a dozen eggs she really blew Dup She Dreally blew up, she didn't understand DMama said the pistol was theG devil's right hand
Chorus:
The Cdevil's right hand The Gdevil's Cright Ghand DMama said the pistol was theG devil's right hand.
My vGery first pistol was a cap and ball colt. SGhoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a might slDow. Loads a Dmight slow. And soon I found out it'll GetD you into trouble,but it caGn't get you out. BouGght a year later bought got a colt 45. CalGled a peace maker, but I never knew wDhy. ID never knew why, I didn't understand. DMama said the pistol was theG devil's right hand.
The dCevil's right hand The deGvil's rCight haGnd DMama said the pistol was the dGevil's right hand
The deCvil's right hand The deGvil's rCight hGand DMama said the pistol was the dGevil's right hand
*Interlude*
GGot into a card game in a crumbling town CaGught a miner cheating so I shot the dog doDwn ShDot the dog down, watched the man fall NeDver touched his holster, never haGd a chance to draw
TheG trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed AsGked me how I pleaded, not guilty I sDaid NDot guilty I said, you've got the wrong man NoDthing touched the pistol but the deGvil's right hand
The deCvil's right hand The deGvil's riCght hGand NDothing touched the trigger but the deGvil's right hand
The dCevil's right hand The deGvil's riCght hGand MDama said the pistol was the deGvil's right hand
