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.

________________________________________________________________
This is one of the more straightforward Steely Dan tunes in terms
chord vs. bassline and all those funky Fagen keyboard voicings.
It's from the Aja album, and I think most Dan fans will find it
familiar and fun to play.
HOME AT LAST - Steely Dan |-6--3--------3--3--3-1-3--|
Lick:|-6--3 ---6/--3--3--3-1-3--|
INTRO: |Gm7| x8bars |---------5/---------------|
|Gm7| x8bars with horns and lick |--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
* Vs.I * |--------------------------|
| Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 |
I know this superhighway
| Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 |
This bright, familiar sun
| Ebmaj7 D7#9| Gm7 Ab7 | Gm7 | Gm7 |
I guess that I'm the lucky one
| Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 |
Who wrote that tired sea song
| Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 |
Set on this peaceful shore
| Ebmaj7 D7#9 | Gm7 Ab7 | Gm7 | Gm7 |
You think you've heard this one before
* Chorus *
| Cm7 | Cm7 | Gm7 | Gm7 |
Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
| Cm7 | Cm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 |
Still I remain tied to the mast
| Cm7 | Cm7 | Bbmaj7 | Bbmaj7 |
Could it be that I have found my home at last
| Ebmaj7 | Ebmaj7 | Ebmaj7 | Ebmaj7 |
Home at last (Horn Lick)
| Gm7 | x8bars
* Vs.II *
She serves the smooth retsina
She keeps me safe and warm
It's just the calm before the storm
Call in my reservation
So long, hey thanks my friend
I guess I'll try my luck again
* Chorus * plus | Gm7 | x8bars
* Synth Solo * | F11 | F11 | F11 | F11 | (1/4 rest) A7 |
| Dm7 Ab13 | Db7 | D7 |
| Gm7 | x8bars
* Guitar Solo over Vs.I *
* Chorus *
* Solo out on Gm7 *
The 'Synth Solo' part is tough to make sense of without someone
actually playing the solo along with you. Try playing it with the
album to get the feel... I'm fairly certain the chords are correct.
