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,
GF#/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
OHHH 'wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her,
GF#/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. (for Sure)
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.
REPEAT CHORUS.
