Steely Dan é uma banda norte-americana centrada na dupla Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. O grupo ganhou popularidade nos anos 70, quando fez seis álbuns juntando elementos do jazz, rock, funk, R&B e pop. Inicialmente rock, sua canção absorveu complexas estruturas e harmonias com influências do jazz. O nome da banda se refere a um livro de William Burroughs. Além de Fagen (piano, teclados e vocal) e Becker (baixo e guitarra), a banda original tinha Denny Dias (guitarra)
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Hello! I love Steely Dan and I thought I'd do the UG community a justice and tab out this great jam.
The main chord used throughout the song is a Bb6/9, Fretted as such: xx8788 Listen to the song to get the timing for the chords in the verses and choruses.
Key: C minor
Intro and verses: Bb6/9
FIRST VERSE: Bb6/9 (throughout the verse) Got a feeling I've been here before Watching as you cross the killing floor You know you'll have to pay it all You'll pay today or pay tomorrow You fasten up your beaded gown Then you try to tie me down Do you work it out one by one Or played in combination FEbF You throw out your gold teeth E7A7D7 Do you see how they roll
|Abm7Db7Cm7|F7 |
Mini guitar solo 1 (bluesy)
SECOND VERSE: Bb6/9 (throughout the verse) I have seen your iron and your brass Can't you see it shine behind the glass Your fortune is your roving eye Your mouth and legs Your gift for the runaround Torture is the main attraction I don't need that kind of action You don't have to dance for me I've seen your dance before FEbF You throw out your gold teeth E7A7D7 Do you see how they roll
|Abm7Db7Cm7|F7 |
Mini guitar solo 2 (same as before)
CHORUS: AbEb Tobacco they grow in Peking Ab In the Year of the Locust A7Bb You'll see a sad thing Db Even Cathy Berberian knows Gbmaj7G7Abmaj7 There's one roulade she can't sing Dbmaj7 Dumb luck my friend Eb/AbF Won't suck me in this time
SOLO SECTION: Just have your soloists jam one by one in C minor over the Bb6/9 chord. Let loose.
CHORUS:(same as before)
FINAL VERSE: Bb6/9 (throughout the verse) Got a feeling I've been here before Won't you let me help you find the door All you got to do is use Your silver shoes A gift for the runaround Use your knack darlin' Take one step back darlin' There ain't nothing in Chicago For a monkey woman to do FEbF You throw out your gold teeth E7A7D7 Do you see how they roll
|Abm7Db7Cm7|F7 |
Ride out the rest of the song vamping on the Bb6/9 chord. Everybody go nuts!
I hope you find the tab useful! Email me if you have any suggestions for changes! Good luck!
