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)
