Could someone please repost "Gimme Three Steps" by Lynrd Skynrd.
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 proove?
D D
Cuz' this is my woman there and I'm a man who cares
A D
and this might be all for you"
(I said "excuse me!")
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 favour from you:
D D
Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,
A A
gimme 3 steps toward the door?
D D
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister
A D
and you'll never see me no more."
(Guitar solo)
D D
O well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
A A
and the water fell down to 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.
D D
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,
A A
gimme 3 steps toward the door?
D D
Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister
A D
and you'll never see me no more."
( I'm gonna get the hell out of Dodge)
I am a piano player, sorry I'm not able to write guitar-tabs,
so I wrote the chords just above the word where the new bar begins.
I hope this will help a little bit.. I am also interested in any
Lynyrd Skynyrd lyrics you have, because my english is too bad to
hear all the stuff from the records. I don't need no tabs, because
I can hear all the piano parts from the records (the language of
music is international, indeed) .. I just have problems with
the lyrics.
God bless ya',
Ulli

News error (.signature dumped)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LYNYRD SKYNYRD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
