Tom: D5 D5 I was cuttin' a rug down at a place called "The Jug" A5 with a girl named Linda Lou. D5 When in walked a man with a gun in his hand E5 A5 and he was lookin' for you-know-who. D5 He said, "Hey fat fella with the hair colored yella, G5 F#5 F5 E5 what you tryin' to prove? D5 'Cause that's my woman there and I'm a man who cares A5 D5 and this might be all for you." D5 Well I was scared and a-fearin' for my life. A5 I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree. D5 'Cause he was lean and mean, big and bad, E5 A5 and was pointin' that gun at me. D5 I said, "Wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her. G5 F#5 F5 E5 Don't want no trouble with you. D5 A5 D5 I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me ask one favor of you." CHORUS: D5 Gimmie three steps gimmie three steps mister A5 gimmie three steps towards the door. D5 Gimmie three steps gimmie three steps mister A5 D5 and you never see me no more. D5 Well the crowd went away and I began to pray A5 and the water fell on the floor. D5 And I'm a-tellin' you son, well it ain't no fun E5 A5 starin' straight down a forty four. D5 Well he turned to scream at Linda Lou G5 F#5 F5 E5 and that's the break I was lookin' for. D5 A5 D5 You could hear me screamin' a mile away as I headed out towards the door. (Chorus)
