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.

Steely Dan
[Am7] Hello [Bm7] one and[E]all
[Am7] Was it [Bm7] you I[E]used to know?
[Am7] Can't you [Bm7] hear me[E]call
[Am7] On this [Bm7] old ham[E]radio?
[Am7] All I've [Bm7] got to[E] say
[Am7] I'm [Bm7] alive and [E] feeling fine
[Am7] Should you[Bm7] come [E] my way
[Am7] You can[Bm7] share my [E] poison wine
[Bm7]No marigolds in the promised [CMaj7] land,
[C]There's a hole in the [G] ground where they[D]used to grow
[Bm7]Any man left on the[CMaj7] Rio Grande
[Em7]Is the[D]king of the world as far as[A]I know
I won't take your bread
I don't need no helping hand
I can't be no savage
I can't be no highwayman
Show me where you are
You and I can will this day
Driving in my car
Through the ruins of Santa Fe
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
[Am7] [Bm7] [E] [Am7] [Bm7] [CMaj7] [FMaj7] [Em7] [EbMaj7] [Dm7] [DbMaj7] [Cm7] [F]

[Am7I'm reading[Em7]last years papers
[Am7]Although[Em7]I don't know why
[Am7]Assassins, cons and[Em7]rapers
[C]Might as[G]well[A]die
When you come around
No more pain and no regrets
Watch the sun go brown
Smoking cobalt cigarettes
There's no need to hide
Taking things the easy way
If I stay inside
I might live till Saturday
No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground where they used to grow
Any man left of the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world
King of the world as far as I know
You know it is.....THANKS! ([email protected])
