Chords

This was the B side to their first single, "Dallas." Becker and Fagen are on the record calling it "stinky," but what do they know? Note that major chords are all "moo majors" (major chords with a 2nd added). Intro: E/A VERSE:
E/A                              A/D
My old man, he’s been around the world

       Gmaj7    E/A
And he tells me everything

E/A                                A/D
He taught me how to tie a sailor’s knot

Gmaj7            G/A
And maybe how to sing

                 D                   C#m7 
And though I’m a man and I’ve got it together

   F#m7           F#m7/E         D
He still knows    what to        do

       A                    E
He say come on and sail the waterway

     D      G       A
It feels so good on you

            A        E
Come on and sail the waterway

   D        G    F#m7
It feels so good on you
Bm7 - Bm7/E BRIDGE:
             D       C#m7
You know the tide is high

        Bm7                 A
And the westward wind won't quit ya

         F#m7             C#m7        F#m7
Well you know what you    got to      do

           G/A
‘cause the time is right

                            Bm7   -   Bm7/E
And the tide will wait for you
OUTRO:
            D        C#m7          Bm7     Bm7/E
Come on and sail the waterway with me,     darlin’
