Gimme Three Steps

D-----------------------------------------------------A-----------------
1) I was cutting the rug Down at a place called The Jug With a girl named Linda Lu
2) I was scared and fearing for my life. I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
3) Well the crowd cleared away And I began to pray As the water fell on the floor.

A---D-------------------------------------------------------E-----A---
1) When in walked a man With a gun in his hand And he was looking for you know who.
2) 'Cause he was lean, mean, Big and bad, Lord, Pointin' that gun at me.
3) And I'm telling you son, Well, it ain't no fun Staring straight down a forty-four.

A----D--------------------------------------------G-----------E-----
1) He said, "Hey there fellow, With the hair colored yellow, Watcha tryin' to prove?
2) I said, "Wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her. Don't want no trouble with you.
3) Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu And that's the break I was looking for.

E-------------A-----------------------------------E----------------------A
1) 'Cause that's my woman there And I'm a man who cares And this might be all for you."
2) And I know you don't owe me But I wish you'd let me Ask one favor from you."
3) And you could hear me screaming a mile away As I was headed out towards the door.

chorus: A "Won't you give me three steps, Gimme three steps mister
Gimme E three steps towards the door?
A Gimme three steps Gimme three steps mister
And you'll E never see me no A more."
