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.

please note:
There are intregal bass notes played throughout this selection, that are not included in the
body of this chart.
When I first included these bass notes in this chart, it all looked like a very confusing mess!
To simplify matters I will explain how these bass notes are played:
On the C7 chord throughout the verses a F-E-C ( IV-III-I )
bass figure is played.
On F7 chord following C7chord Bb-A-F is played and on G7 and on any F
chord following the G7, Bb-C-root is played.
In the instrumental section, the song modulates to the key of D.
The same IV-III-I applies on the D chord and the first two bars of
The G chord following. The next two bars in G change to Bb-C-G bass notes and
the following A7 chords C-D-A. Again I recommend first playing along with the recording and
being in a place where pausing and rewinding can be done quickly!
