Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gimme Three Steps (1973)
^{Key: :[C#] (w: Allen Collins, Ronnie Van Zant)}

GUITAR INTRO: [over VERSE]

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

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

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

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

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

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