Green Book The chords by Steely Dan

The Green Book

(probably better tackled on a keyboard.
The maj7-5 chords over bass notes one semi-tone lower than the root
aren't really meant to be played on guitar!)

Ebmaj7-5
          My coat is black and the moon is yellow



Here is where I get off



As you can see for yourself old girl in the Green Book


  Cm6/9
I tango down to the smoky lobby



My eyes adjust to the light


 Dbmaj7-5/C
             The new cashier looks like Jill St. John


       Dbmaj7-5  Bmaj7-5 G7sus4/D
Can    that      be      right?


Abmaj7-5/G
           I'm rolling into the bar at Joey's



They're getting ready to close


                     Eb6     Am7-5
Here she comes very "Kiss Me Deadly"


   F7sus4  /C    Eb7sus4  /Bb     D7sus4     Eb13add9  Eb9
My life,      my love,         my third hand rose


Ebmaj7-5
          Flash ahead to a yummy playback



Just you and me in a room


                  Dbsus4/Ab   Eb7  Gsus4/D     Ebmaj7-5/D
Double dreaming a page        at a time in the Green     Book


  |Cm9      |Gmaj9     |Cm9   /F    |D7   D7sus4   |



  |Cm9      |D7   |Gbmaj7-5    |
             -2/4-


Ebmaj7-5/D
            The torso rocks and the eyes are keepers



Now where'd we sample those legs?



I'm thinking Marilyn 4.0 in the Green Book


Cm6/9
      I like the neon I love the music



Anachronistic but nice


Dbmaj7-5/C
           The seamless segue from fun to fever


       Dbmaj7-5  Bmaj7-5   G7sus4/D
It's a sweet     de        vice


Abmaj7-5/G
           I'm so in love with this dirty city



This crazy grid of desire


                    Eb6     Am7-5
The festive icons along the way


    F7sus4  /C    Eb7sus4   /Bb        D7sus4 D7  Eb13add9  Eb9
The boardwalk,    the lovers,      the house  on  fire



Ebmaj7-5/D
            She's kind of cute but a little younger



She's got the mood and the moves


                    Dbsus4/Ab  Eb7   G7sus4/D    Ebmaj7-5/D
It's kinda scary to dig        your  self in the Green Book.
