[Intro] - - - [C G C G C]
[Verse 1]
I was [C] cuttin' the rug down at a place called 'The Jug' with a [G] girl named Linda Lou
When [C] in walked a man with a gun in his hand,
he was [D] looking for you know [G] who.
He said [C] "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow, [F] watcha tryin' to [D] prove?
Cuz thatsa [C] my woman there and I'm a man who cares, and this [G] might be all for [C] you" (I said "excuse me!")
[Verse 2]
I was [C] scared and fearing for my life,
I was [G] shaking like a leaf on a tree
Cuz he was [C] lean and mean and big and bad, Lord, and [D] pointing that gun at [G] me
"Oh [C] wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her, [F] don't want no trouble with [D] you
and I [C] know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me [G] ask one favor from [C] you
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you [C] gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister, [G] gimme three steps toward the [G] door? [C] Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister, and you'll [G] never see me no [C] more. For sure"
[Verse 3]
Oh, well the [C] crowd cleared away and I began to pray, and the [G] bottles fell on the floor.
And I'm [C] telling you, son, well it ain't no fun,
staring [D] straight down a forty-[G]-four.
Well, he [C] turned and screamed at Linda Lou,
and that's the [F] break I was looking [D] for
and you could [C] hear me screaming a mile away
as I was [G] headed out toward the [C] door.
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you [C] gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister, gimme [G] three steps toward the door? and you'll [G] never see me no [C] more.
END ON C
