Gimme Three Steps

(início)

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