| I was c | uttin the rug down at a pl | ace called 'The Jug' |
| A | A | |

| D | D | |
| When i | n walked a man with a g | un in his hand |
| E | A | |
| he was l | ooking for you know wh | o. |
| D | D | |
| He said "H | ey there fellow with the h | air coloured yellow, |
| G | E | |

| D | D | |
| Cuz' this is my woman there and I' | m a man who cares |
| A | D | |
| and this m | ight be all for y | ou" |
| (I said "excuse me!") |
| D | D | |
| I was sc | ared and fearing f | or my life |
| A | A | |
| sh | aking like a leaf on a tr | ee |
| D | D | |
| Cuz' he was l | ean and mean and | big and bad, Lord, |
| E | A | |
| p | ointing that gun at m | e |
| D | D | |
| I said "w | ait a minute mister, I d | idn't even kiss her, |
| G | E | |
| don't want no trouble with y | ou |
| D | D | |
| and I know you don | 't owe me but I wish you wo | uld let me |

| (Guitar solo) |
| D | D | |
| O well the cr | owd cleared away and I beg | an to pray |

| D | D | |
| Well, he t | urned and screamed at L | inda Lou, |
| G | E | |

| D | D | |
| and you could h | ear me screaming a m | ile away |
| A | D | |

| A | D | |

| ( I'm gonna get the hell out of Dodge) |
| I am a piano player, sorry I'm not able to write guitar-tabs, |
| so I wrote the chords just above the word where the new bar begins. |
| I hope this will help a little bit.. I am also interested in any |
| Lynyrd Skynyrd lyrics you have, because my english is too bad to |
| hear all the stuff from the records. I don't need no tabs, because |
| I can hear all the piano parts from the records (the language of |
| music is international, indeed) .. I just have problems with |
| the lyrics. |
| God bless ya', |
| Ulli |
