D5 D5 I was cutting the rug down at a place called the jug A5 A5 With a girl named Linda Lu D5 D5 When in walked a man, with a gun in his hand E5 A5 he was looking for you know who. D5 D5 He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow, G5 E5 watcha tryin' to proove? D5 D5 Cuz' this is my woman there and I'm a man who cares A5 D5 and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!") D5 D5 I was scared and fearing for my life A5 A5 shaking like a leaf on a tree D5 D5 Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord, E5 A5 pointing that gun at me D5 D5 I said "wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her, G5 E5 don't want no trouble with you D5 D5 and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me A5 D5 ask one favour from you: D5 D5 Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, A5 A5 gimme 3 steps toward the door? D5 D5 Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister A5 D5 and you'll never see me no more." (Guitar solo) D5 D5 O well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray A5 A5 and the water fell down to the floor D5 D5 and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun, E5 A5 staring straight down a fourty-four. D5 D5 Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou, G5 E5 and that's the break I was looking for D5 D5 and you could hear me screaming a mile away A5 D5 as I was headed out toward the door. D5 D5 Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, A5 A5 gimme 3 steps toward the door? D5 D5 Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister A5 D5 and you'll never see me no more." ( I'm gonna get the hell out of Dodge)
