'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war 
  E                                  B 
I saw my first pistol in the general store 
       B 
In the general store, I was thirteen 
  B                                 E 
I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen 
E 
Asked if I could have it someday when I grew up 
                                          B 
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and really blew up 
    B 
She really blew up, I didn't understand 
B                           E 
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
