Gimme Three Step

Lynyrd Skynyrd

 DD
I was cuttin the rug down at a place called 'The Jug'
 AA
with a girl named Linda Lou
 DD
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
 EA
he was looking for you know who.
 DD
He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow,
 GE
     watcha tryin' to proove?
 DD
Cuz' this is my woman there and I'm a man who cares 
 AD
and this might be all for you"
(I said "excuse me!")
 DD
I was scared and fearing for my life
 AA
shaking like a leaf on a tree
 DD
Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord,
 EA
pointing that gun at me
 DD
I said "wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her,
 GE
     don't want no trouble with you
 DD
and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me
 AD
ask one favour from you:
 DD
Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,
 AA
gimme 3 steps toward the door?
 DD
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister
 AD
and you'll never see me no more."
(Guitar solo)
 DD
O well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
 AA
and the water fell down to the floor
 DD
and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun,
 EA
staring straight down a fourty-four.
 DD
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou,
 GE
and that's the break I was looking for
 DD
and you could hear me screaming a mile away
 AD
as I was headed out toward the door.
 DD
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,
 AA
gimme 3 steps toward the door?
 DD
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister
 AD
and you'll never see me no more."
( 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
