ANY MAJOR DUDE - Steely Dan ---------------------------- From the album "Pretzel Logic" Transcribed by Howard Wright hakwright (at) gmail (dot) com The electric piano on the original track throws in quite a few variations on the chords. What I've written here are the "basic" chords, with a few ideas for the variations. / = slide INTRO: ------ E----------------------------------------------------- B--7--7-7-7--7-8--8-7--8-7---0--0-0-0--0-2--2-0--2-0-- G--7--7-7-7--7-9--9-7--9-7---0--0-0-0--0-2--2-0--2-0-- D--0-------------------------0------------------------ A----------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------3------------------------ E--------------------------- B--/7--7-7-7--7-8--8-7-8-7-- G--/7--7-7-7--7-9--9-7-9-7-- D---0----------------------- A--------------------------- E--------------------------- VERSE 1: -------- 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 Try mu-major type variations for the A (use x0242x or hammer on to the C# on the B string from x02200). On the D chord, the keyboard often uses G/D together with a mixture of D shapes (e.g try xx0775, xx0433 and xx0232) CHORUS: ------- (You can also use G#m7 and G#7sus4 in place of/as well as the G#m11) Bm7 F#m7 G#m11 Any major dude with half a heart surely would tell you my friend Bm7 F#m7 G#m11 Any minor world that breaks apart falls to - gether again Bm7 D/E Amaj7 When the demon is at your door Gmaj7 F#m7 B7 A7 In the morning it won't be there no more G7 F#m7 Any major dude will tell you D G7 A5 Any major dude will tell you RIFF: ----- (A5) G5 E---------------7----10-9------------ B--8p7---7-8-10---10------10--------- G------9----------------------------- D------------------------------------ A------------------------------------ E------------------------------------ A5 G5 E---------------7----10-9------------ B--8p7---7-8-10---10------8---------- G------9--------------------7-------- D-----------------------------7------ A------------------------------------ E------------------------------------ A5 G5 A G A E---------------7----10-9-7---12--9---9/7--7--7/9------ B--8p7---7-8-10---10-------------10--10/8--8--8/10----- G------9----------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------ All later Verses and Choruses use the same chords as above. The structure following this first chorus is: VERSE 2 CHORUS RIFF MIDDLE 8: --------- F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7 C#m7 I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do F#m11 G#m7 Bm7 D/E You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you SOLO over Verse chords CHORUS: ------- Bm7 F#m7 G#m11 Any major dude with half a heart surely would tell you my friend Bm7 F#m7 G#m11 Any minor world that breaks apart falls to - gether again Bm7 D/E Amaj7 When the demon is at your door Gmaj7 F#m7 B7 A7 In the morning it won't be there no more G7 F#m7 Any major dude will tell you D G7 B7 D7 F Any major dude will tell you G A5 Any major dude will tell you RIFF On the last line of the riff, there is a pause after the high E (12th fret top E) for a drum fill - then the riff finishes over the final A G A change.
