Intro

AAEEAAEAAAx 2

I was cAutting the rug, down at place called The Jug

With a gEirl named Linda Lou

When Ain walked a man with a gun in his hand

And he was B7looking for you know wEho

He said Ahey there, fellow with the hair colored yellow

DWhatcha tryin’ to B7prove?

‘Cause that’s Amy woman there and I’m a man who cares

And this Emight be all for Ayou

I said, “excuse me”

AAEEAAEAAA

I was sAcared and fearing for my life

I was sEhaking like a leaf on a tree

‘Cause he was Alean, mean, big and bad, lord

B7Pointin’ that gun at Eme

Oh, Await a minute, mister I didn’t even kiss her

DDon’t want no trouble with B7you

And I Aknow you don’t owe me but I wish you would let me

EAsk one favor from Ayou

Oh won’t you Agimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister

Gimme Ethree steps toward your door

AGimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister

And you’ll Enever see me no Amore

For, sure

Solo on verse chords, or trim to one intro

AAEEAAEAAA

Well the Acrowd cleared away, and I began to pray

And the Ewater fell on the floor

And I’m Atelling you, son, well, it ain’t no fun

Staring B7straight down a forty-Efour

Well, he Aturned and screamed at Linda Lou

And that’s the Dbreak I was looking B7for

And you could Ahear me screaming a mile away

As I was Eheaded out toward your Adoor

Oh won’t you Agimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister

Gimme Ethree steps toward your door

AGimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister

And you’ll Enever see me no Amore

Show me the back door
