Title: GIMME 3 STEPS (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
D D
I was cuttin the rug down at a place called 'The Jug'
A A
with a girl named Linda Lou
D D
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
E A
he was looking for you know who.
D D
He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow,
G E
watcha tryin' to proove?
D D
Cuz' thatsa' my woman there and I'm a man who cares
A D
and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!")

D D
I was scared and fearing for my life
A A
shaking like a leaf on a tree
D D
Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord,
E A
pointing that gun at me
D D
I said "wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her,
G E
don't want no trouble with you
D D
and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me
A D
ask one favour from you:

D D
(CHORUS) Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,
A A
gimme 3 steps toward the door?
D D
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister
A D
and you'll never see me no more."
(Solo)
D D
O well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
A A
and the water fell down to the floor
D D
and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun,
E A
staring straight down a fourty-four.
D D
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou,
G E
and that's the break I was looking for
D D
and you could hear me screaming a mile away
A D
as I was headed out toward the door.

(CHORUS)
