Pretzel Logic

Countdown To Ecstasy

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.

A	       Bm7	     D         E7         A
Im not one to look behind I know that times must change
       A	  Bm7	          D         E7   A
But over there in Barry Town they do things very strange
     F#m	          C#m	   D	       C#m	 E
And though you're not my enemy, I like things like they used to be;  	                    	 
    A	                   Bm7	        D	 C#m Bm7
And though you'd like some company, I'm standing by myself,          	       	           	
   D         C#m     Bm7
Go play with someone else. 	        	
Chorus:
      F#m     E       D     C#m      Bm7        A
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barry Town.  	                 	
A	          Bm7	      D	     E7	     A
Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard;  	
A	        Bm7	       D	E7    A       	
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word.
    F#m	                C#m             D        C#m     E
And don't you think I'm out of line for speaking out for what is mine;                   	
  A	          Bm7	            D	    C#m	     Bm7
I like to see you do just fine, but look at what you wear   	    	           	
 	 D	C#m	 Bm7
And the way you cut your hair.     	      	
Chorus
Interlude
 F	Am7	                     Dm7	
 In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled; 
 F	    Am7                   Dm7          C#m7
 Barry Town people got to be from another world. 
     
Intro	
 A	          Bm7	           D	  E7	   A
 Leave me or I'll be just like the others that you meet;   	
A	          Bm7	         D       E7     A
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street.
    F#m	                C#m	              D	      C#m     E
And don't you scream or make a shout;	 it's nothing you can do about;        	
 A	           Bm7	                D       C#m     Bm7
It was there where you came out, it's a special lack of grace,    	
        D      C#m      Bm7
  I can see it on your face.

We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
                A                    E
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know

G6              F 
This is the day

               G            F 
Of the expanding man

G6                      F 
That shape is my shade

                      G             D 
There where I used to stand

Fm9                E7 9     Am7 
It seems like only yesterday

Bb 
I gazed through the glass

E7 
At ramblers

B7
Wild gamblers

Dm               E7
That's all in the past

You say it's a crazy scheme

G6                   F 
This one's for real

Gmaj7                   A

Am7                        Gm7     
Throw a kiss and say goodbye

Bb              Am7                 G6       F/C  
Drink Scotch whisky all night long

And die  behind the wheel

                                      Em7 
They got a name for the winners in the world

I want a name when I lose

G6              F 
My back to the wall


                    G      F
A victim of laughing chance

G6              F  
This is for me

                         G          D 
The essence of true romance

Fm9           E7                Am7 
Sharing the things we know and love

With those of my kind

I crawl like a viper

                             G          F
Through these suburban streets

G6                             F 
Make love to these women

                     G         D
Languid and bitter sweet

Fm9                     E7 9
I'll rise when the sun goes down

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:

I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#

Bridge:

I wheel my bike off the train,

Up the North Trade Road,

Look for you on Marley Lane

In every building, every streetlight

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.

Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)

Overreacting

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
