The Second Arrangement - Steely Dan ------------------------------------- Unreleased song (recorded during the Gaucho sessions) Transcribed/arranged by Howard Wright hakwright (at) gmail (dot) com Some classic Steely Dan chord changes in this one. By some amazing fluke almost all the chord voicings work out really nicely on the guitar, and some shapes that just wouldn't work in any other key just fit nicely with the use of an open string or two. My favourite shape: x54500 (from the end of the intro/instrumental sections) All guitar chord shapes listed at the bottom. Intro ------ Em7 Am7 Em7 D Bm7 Am7 G6 Em7 Am7 Em7 Em7 D9add6 Verse 1 -------- Cmaj7 B7#5 D/E Pour out the wine, little girl Am7 Bm11 I've got just two friends in this whole wide world Fmaj7 F#7#5 G13 Here's to reckless lovers Cmaj7 Em7 F/G We all need somebody Cmaj7 B7#5 D/E Stashed in the yellow Jag Am7 Bm11 I've got my life and laundry in a Gladstone bag Fmaj7 F#7#5 G13 You should know the program Cmaj7 F13 Just one red rose and a tender goodbye Bm7 Am7 D6/9 C#7#9 [One last goodbye] Chorus 1 --------- Fmaj7 Am7 And I run to the second arrangement Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7* G6 Am7 It's on - ly the nat - ural thing Bm11 E7 Am7 B7#5 LaRue steps out with no regrets Dmaj7 G#7sus4 A sparkling conscience C#maj7 G7sus4 And new address Fmaj7 Am7 When I run to the second arrangement Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7* G6 Am7 The home of a mu - tual friend Bm11 E7 G/A Am D9b5(no3rd) Now's the time to re - de - fine D/G Fmaj7 B7 Gmaj7 C#7 The first arrangement again Cmaj7 Am7 D6/9 C6/9 Middle 8 --------- Em7 Am7 F#7#5 It's a sticky situation Gmaj7(iii) C#m11 F#7 A serious affair Bmaj7 Am7 Dmaj7 I must explain it to you somehow B7b9 Em7 D Bm7 Am7 G6 Em7 Right now I'll just move back one square Instrumental ------------- Em7 Am7 Em7 D Bm7 Am7 G6 Em7 Am7 C9 Am7 Em7 Am7 Em7 D Bm7 Am7 G6 Em7 Am7 Em7 Em7 D9add6 Verse 2 --------- (chords as verse 1) Here comes that noise again Another scrambled message from my last best friend Something I can dance to A song with tears in it Old friends abandon me It's just the routine politics of jealousy Someday we'll remember That one red rose and one last goodbye [One last goodbye] Chorus 2 --------- Fmaj7 Am7 Then I run to the second arrangement Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7* G6 Am7 It's on - ly the nat - ural thing Bm11 E7 Am7 B7#5 LaRue steps out with no regrets Dmaj7 G#7sus4 A sparkling conscience C#maj7 G7sus4 And new address Fmaj7 Am7 When I run to the second arrangement Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7* G6 Am7 The home of a mu - tual friend Bm11 E7 G/A Am D9b5(no3rd) Now's the time to re - de - fine D/G Fmaj7 B7 Gmaj7 C#7 The first arrangement again Cmaj7 Am7 D6/9 C6/9 Am7 C9 Am7 Outtro ------- Em7 Am7 Em7 D Bm7 Am7 G6 Em7 Fmaj7 G6/9 B7b9 Em7 Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 A/B (repeat/fade) Chord shapes ------------- EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE x79787 5x5555 x5777x 7x777x 3xx000 Em7 Am7 D Bm7 G6 Note: for the m7 shapes above it's up to you whether you fret and play the notes on the top E string. Also you can add the open D string to the G6 chord, or even just play a straight G (e.g. 3x000x) if you prefer.
