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.

I recall when I was small
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
How I spent my days a lone
A9
The busy world was not for me
Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7
So I went and found my own
F#7sus4/C#
I would climb the garden wall
F#/B E/A C#/F#
With a candle in my hand
Emaj7 Bbm7 Dmaj7 C#m7 C#m7 F#m7
I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand
A9
On the stone an ancient hand
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
In a faded yellow-green
A9
Made alive a worldly wonder
Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7
Often told but never seen
F#7sus4/C#
Now and ever bound to labor
F#/B E/A C#/F#
On the sea and in the sky
Emaj7 Bbm7
Every man and beast appeared
Bmaj7 Emaj7 A7
A friend as real as I
Dmaj9 Amaj7
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall
Dmaj9 F#m7
When there wasn’t even Hollywood
F#m/E Dmaj9 C#m7
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
Dmaj7
For you and me

A9
Can it be this sad design
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
Could be the very same
A9
A wooly man without a face
Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7
And a beast without a name
F#7sus4/C#
Nothin' here but history
F#/B E/A C#/F#
Can you see what has been done
Emaj7 Bbm7
Memory rush over me
Bmaj7 Emaj7 A7
Now I step into the sun
Dmaj9 Amaj7
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall
