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.

My Old School by Steely Dan 1973
Written by Donald Fagen & Walter Becker
[Verse 1]
G Em
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
C D G Gsus4 G
When you put-me-on-the-Wolverine up to Annandale
Em
It was still September when your daddy was quite surprised
C D G Gsus4 G
To find you with the working girls in the county jail
C
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
D
When I heard about the whole affair
Gmaj7 Em Gmaj7 Em C
I said whoa no William and Mary won't do now
D Am7 D Em7
Well I did not think the girl could be so cruel
D Am7 D G Gsus4 G
And I'm never going back to my old school
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G Em
Oleanders growing outside her door
C D G Gsus4 G
Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale
Em
I can't stand her doing what she did before
C D G Gsus4 G
Living like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale
C
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
D
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
Gmaj7 Em Gmaj7 Em C
She said whoa no Guadalajara won't do now
D Am7 D Em7
Well I did not think the girl could be so cruel
D Am7 D G Gsus4 G
And I'm never going back to my old school

[Verse 3]
G Em
California tumbles into the sea
C D G Gsus4 G
That'll be the day I go back to Annandale
Em
Tried to warn you about Chino and Daddy Gee
C D G Gsus4 G
But I can't seem to get to you through the U S Mail
C
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go
D
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
Gmaj7 Em Gmaj7 Em C
She said whoa no Guadalajara won't do now
D Am7 D Em7
Well I did not think the girl could be so cruel
D Am7 D G Gsus4 G
And I'm never going back to my old school
