Deacon Blues Tabulatur von Steely Dan (für Baryton)

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

G6                  F 
You call me a fool

                      G           F
You say it's a crazy scheme

G6                   F 
This one's for real

Gmaj7                   A 
I already bought the dream

Fm9                    E7 
So useless to ask me why


Am7                        Gm7     
Throw a kiss and say goodbye

F             C 
I'll make it this time

D                   F                 G 
I'm ready to cross that fine line

Am7                        Em7 
I'll learn to work the saxophone

Dm7            Cmaj7 
I'll play just what I feel

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

C              F            Am7 
And die  behind the wheel

                                      Em7 
They got a name for the winners in the world

Dm7         Cmaj7 
I want a name when I lose

Bb           Am7                   G6          F/C
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

C              F        Am7 
Call me   Deacon  Blues

Em7 
(Deacon Blues )

[Interlude]


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

Bb 
With those of my kind

E7 
Li bations

B7
Sen sations

Dm                     E7    Bm7   E7
That stagger the mind

G6                  F 
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


Am7                   Gm7       
Cover every game in town

C
A world of my own

D                        F           G 
I'll make it my home    sweet home

Am7                        Em7 
I'll learn to work the saxophone

Dm7            Cmaj7 
I'll play just what I feel

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

C              F            Am7 
And die  behind the wheel

                                      Em7 
They got a name for the winners in the world

Dm7         Cmaj7 
I want a name when I lose

[Interlude]


G6               F 
This is the night

                   G      F
Of the expanding man

G6                    F 
I take one last drag

             G              D
As I approach the stand

Fm9               E7 9
I cried when I wrote this song


Am7             Gm7            
Sue me if I play too long

C
This brother is free

D                F            G 
I'll be what I want to be

Am7                        Em7 
I'll learn to work the saxophone

Dm7            Cmaj7 
I'll play just what I feel

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

C              F            Am7 
And die  behind the wheel

                                      Em7 
They got a name for the winners in the world

Dm7         Cmaj7 
I want a name when I lose
