Chords

Tabbed by: Ted Barchetta ([email protected]) Hello! I love Steely Dan and I thought I'd do the UG community a justice and tab out this great jam. The main chord used throughout the song is a Bb6/9, Fretted as such: xx8788 Listen to the song to get the timing for the chords in the verses and choruses. Key: C minor Intro and verses: Bb6/9 FIRST VERSE: Bb6/9 (throughout the verse) Got a feeling I've been here before Watching as you cross the killing floor You know you'll have to pay it all You'll pay today or pay tomorrow You fasten up your beaded gown Then you try to tie me down Do you work it out one by one Or played in combination
                             F Eb F
You throw out your gold teeth

       E7  A7       D7
Do you see how they roll
|Abm7 Db7 Cm7|F7 | Mini guitar solo 1 (bluesy) SECOND VERSE: Bb6/9 (throughout the verse) I have seen your iron and your brass Can't you see it shine behind the glass Your fortune is your roving eye Your mouth and legs Your gift for the runaround Torture is the main attraction I don't need that kind of action You don't have to dance for me I've seen your dance before
                             F Eb F
You throw out your gold teeth

       E7  A7       D7
Do you see how they roll
|Abm7 Db7 Cm7|F7 | Mini guitar solo 2 (same as before) CHORUS:
Ab                         Eb
Tobacco they grow in Peking

Ab
In the Year of the Locust

             A7  Bb
You'll see a sad thing

Db
Even Cathy Berberian knows

        Gbmaj7          G7    Abmaj7
There's one roulade she can't sing

     Dbmaj7
Dumb luck my friend

      Eb/Ab           F
Won't suck me in this time
SOLO SECTION: Just have your soloists jam one by one in C minor over the Bb6/9 chord. Let loose. CHORUS:(same as before) FINAL VERSE: Bb6/9 (throughout the verse) Got a feeling I've been here before Won't you let me help you find the door All you got to do is use Your silver shoes A gift for the runaround Use your knack darlin' Take one step back darlin' There ain't nothing in Chicago For a monkey woman to do
                             F Eb F
You throw out your gold teeth

       E7  A7       D7
Do you see how they roll
|Abm7 Db7 Cm7|F7 | Ride out the rest of the song vamping on the Bb6/9 chord. Everybody go nuts! I hope you find the tab useful! Email me if you have any suggestions for changes! Good luck!
