Gimme 3 Steps
by Lynard Skynard
(Tunelist)
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 colored yellow, G 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 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 favor from you |
{Chorus: D D 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 on 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] |
