________________________________________________________________
This is one of the more straightforward Steely Dan tunes in terms
chord vs. bassline and all those funky Fagen keyboard voicings.
It's from the Aja album, and I think most Dan fans will find it
familiar and fun to play.
HOME AT LAST - Steely Dan -6--3--------3--3--3-1-3--
Lick: -6--3 ---6/--3--3--3-1-3--
INTRO: Gm7 x8bars ---------5/---------------
Gm7 x8bars with horns and lick --------------------------
* Vs.I * --------------------------
I know this superhighway
This bright, familiar sun
#9
I guess that I'm the lucky one
Who wrote that tired sea song
Set on this peaceful shore
#9
You think you've heard this one before
* Chorus *
Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
Home at last (Horn Lick)
Gm7 x8bars
* Vs.II *
She serves the smooth retsina
She keeps me safe and warm
It's just the calm before the storm
Call in my reservation
So long, hey thanks my friend
I guess I'll try my luck again
* Chorus * plus Gm7 x8bars
* Synth Solo * F11 F11 F11 F11 (1/4 rest) A7
Gm7 x8bars
* Guitar Solo over Vs.I *
* Chorus *
* Solo out on Gm7 *
The 'Synth Solo' part is tough to make sense of without someone
actually playing the solo along with you. Try playing it with the
album to get the feel... I'm fairly certain the chords are correct.
