I was cuttin’ the rug down at a place called 'The Jug' with a girl named Linda Lou
     D                                                 E                    A
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand and he was looking for you know who 
         D                                               G                E
He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow, watcha tryin' to prove?" 
           D                                               A                D
Cuz thatsa my woman there and I'm a man who cares and this might be all for you"

(I said "excuse me!")

I was scared and fearing for my life, I was shaking like a leaf on a tree 
           D                                        E                    A
Cuz he was lean and mean and big and bad, and Lord, pointing that gun at me
        D                                             G                          E
I said "Wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her. Don't want no trouble with you
      D                                                 A                  D
And I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me ask one favor from you"
 
              D                        D
Say won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister
A                            A
Gimme three steps toward the door
D                        D
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister 
           A               D
And you'll never see me no more."

Oh, well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray and the water fell on the floor
        D                                          E                      A
And I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun, staring straight down a fourty-four
         D                                               G                   E
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou and that's the break I was looking for 
              D                                      A                     D
And you could hear me screaming a mile away as I was headed out toward the door
 
              D                        D
Say won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister, 
      A                      A
Gimme three steps toward the door? 
D                        D
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister 
           A               D
And you'll never see me no more. (Show me the back door)
