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' thatsa' 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:
Chorus:
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."
(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.
