Black Cow - Steely Dan
--------------------------
From the album AJA
Arranged by Howard Wright
H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk
Helped with lyrics by Richard Kunert
VERSE 1:
---------
C9
In the corner of my eye I saw you in Rudy's you were very high
A7#9 C/D E7#9 Bb/Eb
You were high it was a crying disgrace (They saw your face)
C9
On the counter by your keys was a book of numbers and your remedies
A7#9 C/D E7#9
One of these surely will screen out the sorrow
Bb/Eb D/E
But where are you tomorrow
CHORUS:
--------
Amaj7 G/A C/D (2) Amaj7
I can't cry anymore while you run around (while you run around)
Gmaj7 F#m7 C#m/E Eb7 D/E (2) Aadd2/C#
Break away just when it seems so clear that it's over now
F#m7 (2) E Dmaj7 C/D (2) Eb/F
Drink your big black cow and get out of here
VERSE 2
--------
Bb9 B9 C9
Down to Green street there you go....
(The rest is as for verse 1)
....lookin' so outrageous and they tell you so
You should know how all the pro's play the game
(You change your name)
Like a ganster on the run
You will stagger homeward to your precious one
I'm the one who must make everything right
Talk it out till daylight
CHORUS 2
---------
I don't care anymore why you run around (why you run around)
Break away , just when it seems so clear that it's over now
Drink your big black cow and get out of here
INSTRUMENTAL BIT :
-------------------
G9 A9
Eb/Bb C6/9 Bb7sus4
D9 E9
Bb/F G/A (2) Eb/F D/E
LAST CHORUS
------------
This last chorus is the same as the others except for the last bit which goes :
F#m7 (2) E Dmaj7 Amaj7 G/A
Drink your big black cow and get out of here
C/D (2) Amaj7 G 6/9
Amaj7 (2) G/A C/D (2) Amaj7 (2) G 6/9 (Repeat this line to fade)
Chord shapes :
--------------
Don't be put off beacause there are a lot of shapes - there are some unusual
chords, but quite a few are really duplicates (e.g Bb9,B9,C9) and some chords
have two shapes to choose from (C/D,D/E)
