Chords for Donald Fagen talks about JOSIE pt 2

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then there's a chorus which is based on more complex [Dm] moving chords _
_ there's a an approach to the two [G] chord through a
_ flat [Eb] _ to
_ _ _ [E] To the two [Em] chord which is an e7 with a sharp nine _ [A] folks _ then you have a
[F] _
_ one [A] _ of these [C]
sharp sharp [G] five yeah sharp [F] nine _ and [Dm] then a _ _
Then you [Eb] go back through the major seven chord [Em] again same progression
[A] _ [Dm] It's _ _ all centered around [G] D minor
_ G which is very bluesy sounding thing once again, and then we'll have a little
Sort of cycle cycle of fists.
It's very [Gb] jazz like in its [Dm] character
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ Which is [G] really the baseline there is
_ [Gb] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] And then we'll set up the five chord with a [E] two chord
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ Let's _ [B] _ [C] _ _
see what that chorus sounds playing through and then we'll continue we start a bar before to get into it.
Yeah sure _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ [D] _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ [F] _
_ _ [B] _ [Bb] _ [E] _ _ _
Sometimes [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
[D] _ [F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Db] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [A] _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ when we played that live we'd be going to a drum solo right at that point
_ _ Right in fact.
I think the way actually the live version was something [G] like
_ [F] Then _ [Bb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ we kind of fade out _
_ _ _ _ _ One [Abm] of those chords are [A] those are interesting you know like [Eb] when you're going up, [E] _
_ _ [C] _ [Gb] _ _ let's see you've got so much like a g-flat
_ _ _ [D]
Just _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ climbing in the [C] baseline
_ [F] And then you end up with [Gb] a it's really a g-flat major seven with a sixth in it
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ it's
_ Actually _ goes back to D minor.
I guess that [Gb] leads to D minor though
_ _ [Dm] _
In other [Ebm] words _ [Dm] I _ _ guess out [Gb] of context _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ Hard [Gb] _ _ [C] _ to see how it leads although.
Let's see if we remove the _
Some of the extensions _ [G] and end up with triads.
We've got a g-flat major [Gb] chords _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's really a kind of it's a major chord built [Gb] on a third away, which I guess you'd call the the median
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Right
Which is [Dm] related
_ [Gb] _
_ Sort _ _ of borrowed from the money in other words you have let's just just get rid of this major
Third here in the key, and you see you've got a
_ an A sharp and a C sharp
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ _
We put out like I say an A which is the actual five chord
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] So the only the only note we're adding is this
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ Which [Gbm] actually leads down to the
[Dm] Another _ _ _ thing [Em] _ I noticed I really like about this tune is the way it feels like on a keyboard
You know when you're writing a song on if you're a piano player a lot of it has to do with feel you
_ [F] _ you know after [Dm] you
_ Know the kind of chords that you that you like the [Ab] sound of you know
And you're used to playing certain sorts [G] of structures a lot of things are just really intuitive and [A] have to do with the way your
[Ab] hands feel on
[E] _ _ [F] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Gb] Right it's it's you know it's it's [Ab] really
_ _ _ _ It's it's it's a matter of physical memory in a way and and then
You know taking the physical memory and then _ _ varying _ _
_ Yeah that makes it easily playable I mean it's not awkward in any kind of way
No, I think that's a tip-off if something's awkward
even something that sounds dissonant or _
_ is a leap from the _
Key you're in should feel right somehow. _
I think that's true. _ _ _ _
_ That's works for me
