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

GUITAR INTRO: [over VERSE]

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

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

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

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

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

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