What I Do (2006)
(Donald Fagen)
Great song, but I'm not quite sure about the nature of some chords in the
middle 8. If you've got any ideas for improvement here, please tell me.

I say "Ray, why do girls treat you nice that way?"
He said it's not what I know, what I think or say
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's deep beneath the skin
It's what I major in
It's what I do
Yes, I come to play and I bring big soul
I could rock long before they named it Rock and Roll
It's what I do
It's what I do
I'm specially qualified
To keep them satis-fied
It's what I do
You turn the lamp down low
You make them feel secure
Eb-5(?)
You've got to show the girl
A Eb7-5(?)
She's the one you adore
If you want that sugar to pour
Well you bring some church but you leave no doubt
As to what kind of love you love to shout about
It's what I do
It's what I do
If you can't dance by now
The Raelettes will show you how
It's what I do

You turn the lamp down low
You make them feel secure
Eb-5(?)
You've got to show the girl
A Eb7-5(?)
She's the one you adore
If you want that sugar to pour
He says, Don don't despair just take some time
You find your bad self, you're gonna do just fine
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's not some game I play
It's in my D N A
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's deep beneath the skin
It's what I major in
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's what I do
I'm specially qualified
To keep them satis-fied
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's what I do
It's what I do
