Lynyrd Skynyrd – Gimme Three Steps (Guitar)

      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            F#  F  E
   watcha tryin' to prove? 

           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
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree 

           D                 D
Cuz he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord, 

  E                    A
a pointing that gun at me 

    D                       D
"Oh wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her, 

G                    F#  F    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 favor from you

              D                        D
Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister, 

A                            A
gimme three steps toward the door? 

D                        D
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister 

           A               D
and you'll never see me no more. For sure"

             D                        D
Oh, well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray 

        A                 A
and the water fell on the floor.

        D                         D
And I'm telling you, son, well it ain't no fun, 

        E                     A
staring straight down a forty-four. 

         D                      D
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou, 

               G              F# F 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. 

              D                        D
Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister, 

      A                      A
gimme three steps toward the door? 

D                        D
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister 

           A               D
and you'll never see me no more. (Show me the back door)
