Gimme Three Steps by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Gimme Three Steps
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
D D
I was cuttin’ the rug down at a place called 'The Jug'
A A
with a girl named Linda Lou
D 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 prove?
D D
Cuz thatsa my woman there and I'm a man who cares
A D
and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!")
[Verse 2]
D D
I was scared and fearing for my life
A A
shaking like a leaf on a tree
D D
Cuz he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord,
E A
pointing that gun at me
D D
I said "wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her,
G E
don't want no trouble with you
D D
and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me
A D
ask one favor from you:
[Chorus]
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."
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
D D
Oh, well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
A A
and the water fell on the floor
D D
and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun,
E A
staring straight down a fourty-four.
D D
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou,
G E
and that's the break I was looking for
D D
and you could hear me screaming a mile away
A D
as I was headed out toward the door.
[Chorus]
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. (Fo' sho')

I was cutting the rug
Down at place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who
He said, "Hey there, fellow
With the hair colored yellow
Whatcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's 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
'Cause he was lean, mean
Big and bad, Lord
Pointin' that gun on me
"Oh, 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'd let me
Ask one favor from you"
"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
For, sure
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor
And I'm telling you, son
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was looking for
Well, you could hear me screaming a mile away
I was headed out toward the door
"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
Show me the back door

some special notation I used for this piece:
typical 'rockabilly' lick:
--------------------- start the lick by picking the notes on the 2nd
--10-------10---10--- and 3rd strings, bend the 3rd string up to the note
---9b(11)-(11)-(11)r9 in parens. hold the bend this way and pick the 2nd
--------------------- and 3rd strings the required number of times. on the
last set, release the 3rd string back to its original
position. kinda like a pedal-steel, no?
--3b---0------------- a 'slight' bend, usually pulled off to an open string.

Big and bad, Lord
Pointin' that gun on me
"Oh, 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'd let me
Ask one favor from you"
"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
For, sure
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor
And I'm telling you, son
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was looking for
Well, you could hear me screaming a mile away
I was headed out toward the door
"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
Show me the back door

I was cutting the rug
Down at place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who
He said, "Hey there, fellow
With the hair colored yellow
Whatcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's 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
'Cause he was lean, mean
Big and bad, Lord
Pointin' that gun on me
"Oh, 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'd let me
Ask one favor from you"
"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
For, sure
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor
And I'm telling you, son
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was looking for
Well, you could hear me screaming a mile away
