Gimme Three Steps Tabulatur von Lynard Skynyrd (für Baryton)

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

I was scared and fearing for my life
shaking like a leaf on a tree
Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord,
pointing that gun at me
I said "wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her,
don't want no trouble with you
and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me
ask one favour from you:

CHORUS
        D                   
Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,
      A                   
Gimme 3 steps toward the door?
 D         
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister
    A           D
And you'll never see me no more."

O well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
and the water fell down to the floor
and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun,
staring straight down a fourty-four.
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou,
and that's the break I was looking for
and you could hear me screaming a mile away
as I was headed out toward the door.

CHORUS
