Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps: chords

       D
I was cuttin’ the rug down at a place
            Bm
Called 'The Jug'
        A
With a girl named Linda Lou
     D                                  Bm
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
        E                     A
He was looking for you know who.
          D
He said "Hey there fellow with the hair
         Bm     G                   E
Coloured yellow, watcha tryin' to prove?
            D                                Bm
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                        Bm
I was scared and fearing for my life
        A
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree
               D
'Cause he was lean, and mean, and
         Bm           E                    A
Big and bad, Lord, a-pointing that gun at me
     D                                    Bm
"Oh wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her
G                             E  A
  Don't want no trouble with you
        D
And I know you don't owe me
                      Bm
But I wish you would let me
A                   D
Ask one favor from you"

Chorus:
              D
Oh won't you gimme three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
         A
Gimme three steps toward the door?
 D
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister
            A               D
And you'll never see me no more."

           D                                 Bm
Well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
         A
And the water fell on the floor
         D                                   Bm
And I'm telling you, son, well, it ain't no fun
           E                   A
Staring straight down a forty-four
         D                                 Bm
Well he turned and there screamed at Linda Lou
                 G                  E
And that's the break I was looking for
               D                         Bm
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
          A                      D
As I was headed out towards the door

Chorus:
              D
Oh won't you gimme three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
         A
Gimme three steps toward the door?
 D
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister
            A               D
And you'll never see me no more."
