Biography:
Steely Dan is an American jazz rock band which formed in 1972. The band was formed by Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards) and Walter Becker (guitar, bass), who met in 1967 while both attended Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, and began a songwriting partnership shortly thereafter.
Their music is characterized by dark, witty lyrical narratives, obscure lyrical allusions and complex, jazz-influenced instrumentation and chord sequences, overlying more ordinary popular song structures.

Dirty Work Steely Dan
==========
[Intro]
C F Am Bb Bb->B->C
Am Dm G C
Times are hard, you're afraid to pay the fee
Am Dm C G
So you find yourself somebody who can do the job for free
Am Dm G C
When you need a bit of lovin' cause your man is out of town
Am Dm C D
That's the time you get me runnin' and you know I'll be around.
[Chorus]
C F Am
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Bb Bb->B->C
Oh yeah
C F Am
I don't want to do your dirty work
Bb Bb->B->C
No more
C F Am
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Bb Bb->B->C
Oh yeah
Am Dm G C
Light the candle, put the lock upon the door
Am Dm C G
You have sent the maid home early like a thousand times before
Am Dm G C
Like a castle in a corner in a medieval game
Am Dm C D
I forsee terrible trouble and I stay here just the same
[Chorus]
D
