PARKER'S BAND - Steely Dan
transcribed by Rasmus Sylvester Bryder
---------------------------------------

The intro theme begins with the notes c-g-d-a-e. As expected, these are exactly the notes that make
up the central chord, namely C6/9.)

C6/9 (A7sus4/c)
Dm7 Em7 F6 G ...

C6/9 -> A7sus4...
Savoy sides presents a new saxophone sensation
It's Parker's band with a smooth style of syncopation
Kansas City born and growing
You won't believe what the boys are blowing
           Dm7     Em7
You got to come on man                    
           F6              G6             C Bb
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band

You'll be riding by, bareback on your armadillo
You'll be grooving high or relaxing at Camarillo
Suddenly the music hits you
It's a bird in flight that just can't quit you
You got to come on man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band

Dmaj7   G11     Cmaj7 F11     Bbm9      Eb9  Abmaj9   
We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance
Abm7   Db9      Gbmaj9 Ebm7
Me and you will listen to
  Bmaj7/e                 Dm7b5        G7sus4     
A little bit of what made the preacher dance

Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection
And if you can't fly you'll have to move in with the rhythm section
Either way you're bound to function
Fifty-Second Street's the junction
           Dm7     Em7            F6              Em7
You got to come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Clap your hands and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Dm7     Em7            F6              G6
Come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's band 

C6/9 Bb6/9...
