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."

             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."
