PEG - Steely Dan
from the album 'AJA'
tabbed by Howard Wright

The chords for the verse are a bit awkward - It's the usual
type of Steely Dan chord - a triad with a different bass note.
It's pretty hard to play the verse chords at the right speed - so
you might have to forget about the bass note and just play the top
strings. I think this is what the guitar on the record does anyway,
but if you want to get the proper sound of the chord you really
need the bass as well.
INTRO:
[G6/9] [F#7#9] [F6/9] [E7#9] [Eb6/9] [D7#9]
VERSE 1:
[Cmaj7] [Gsus2/B] [Cmaj7] [Gsus2] I've seen your
[Cmaj7]picture [Gsus2] [Cmaj7] [Gsus2]your name in lights
a[Cmaj7]bove it [Gsus2] [Cmaj7] [Gsus2]this is your
[Fmaj7]big de-[Csus2]but [Fmaj7] [Csus2] it's like a
[Cmaj7]dream come [Gsus2]true [Cmaj7] [Gsus2] so won't you
[Gmaj7]smile for [Dsus2]the camera [Fmaj7] [Csus2]I know you're gonna

VERSE 2:

I've got your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blue-print blue
It sure looks good on you
So won't you smile for the camers
I know they're gonna love it Peg
CHORUS:
[Cmaj7]Peg [Gsus2/B] it will come [Am11]back to [E7sus4]you
[Cmaj7]Peg [Gsus2/B] it will come [Am11]back to [E7sus4]you
[Asus2/C#]Then [C6/9] the shutter [G]falls[F#7]
You see it [Bm7]all [E7#9]in [Am7]3D it's your [C/D]favourite foreign [Cmaj7]movie[Gsus2]
[Cmaj7] [Gsus2] [F#m7] [Bm7] [Em7] [Bm7] [C6/9]
Then it repeats the intro sequence of descending chords and
goes into the solo.
Chords for the solo are the same as for the verses.
The rest is just repeats.
Chord Shapes :
for convenience : a10,b11,c12 etc
(So an E shape bar chord at the 9th fret would be 9bba99 )
