^{Key: :[E] (w: Allen Collins, Ronnie Van Zant)}

GUITAR INTRO: [over VERSE]

VERSE 1:
I was [E] cutting the rug down at a place called
'The Jug' with a [B] girl named Linda Lou
When [E] in walked a man with a gun in his hand
He was [F#] looking for you know [B] who
He said [E] hey there fellow with the hair
Coloured yellow, [A] watcha trying to [F#] prove?
Cause that's-a [E] my woman there and I'm a man
Who cares and this [B] might be all for [E] you

VERSE 2:
I was [E] scared and fearing for my life
[B] shaking like a leaf on a tree
Cause he was [E] lean and mean and big and bad
Lord, [F#] pointing that gun at [B] me
I said [E] wait a minute Mr., I didn't even
Kiss her, [A] don't want no trouble with [F#] you
And I know [E] you don't owe me but I wish
You would let me [B] ask one favour from [E] you

CHORUS:
Say won't you [E] Gimme three steps, gimme three steps Mr.
Gimme [B] three steps toward the door?
[E] Gimme three steps, gimme three steps Mr.
And you'll [B] never see me no [E] more

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

VERSE 3:
Oh well the [E] crowd cleared away and I began to pray
And the [B] water fell down to the floor
And I'm [E] telling you, son, it ain't no fun
Staring [F#] straight down a forty [B] four
Well, he [E] turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the [A] break I was looking [F#] for
And you could [E] hear me screaming a mile away
As I was [B] headed out toward the [E] door

CHORUS:
Say won't you [E] Gimme three steps, gimme three steps Mr.
Gimme [B] three steps toward the door?
[E] Gimme three steps, gimme three steps Mr.
And you'll [B] never see me no [E] more
