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.

Verse:
A Asus2/C# D
I never seen you lookin' so bad my funky one
A Asus2/C# G A/G G A/G G
You tell me that your super-fine mind has come undone
Bm7 F#m7 G#m7
Any major dude with half a heart surely would tell you my friend
Bm7 F#m7 G#m7
Any amount of world that breaks apart falls to - gether again
Bm7 D/E Amaj7 Gmaj7
When the demon is at your door in the morning he won't be
F#m7 B7 A7 G7 F#m7
there no more any major dude would tell you
D G A5 G5 A5 G5 A5 G5 A5 G5 A5
Any major dude would tell
(These last chords go over the riff-the last change from G5 to A5 should be
slid)
The other verses and choruses go as above, and the solo is played over the same
chords as the verse
There is a middle bit which comes after the third (I think!) chorus
It goes:
F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7 C#m7
I can tell you all I know the where to go the what to do
F#m7 G#m7 Bm7 D/E
You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you
(The solo comes next)
Last chorus to end of song:
Bm7 D/E Amaj7 Gmaj7
When the demon is at your door in the morning he won't be
F#m7 B7 A9 G9 F#m7
there no more any major dude would tell you
D G9 B7 D7
Any major dude will tell you ooo
F G
Any major dude would
|A G |A G |A G |A G |A |AGA . . .
tell you
That's all!
