King of the World - Steely Dan
Tabbed by: Kent
I don't know where they get their guitarists, but whoever they got for this album, made this song:
Intro: quiet wah type thing
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-/7-7------/7-7---7-----/7-7------/7-7---7---------------------------------|
E|------8-10------8------------8-10------8-----------------------------------|
when the bass chords kick in, you pick it up a little:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-/7-7-----/7-7------/7-7------/7-x-7-x-7-----------------------------------|
E|------8-10-----8-10------8-10----------------------------------------------|
repeat
main part fades in (with reverb or something). this is played throughout the verses:
strum the chords
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-5--5-7-7-9--9--9h11-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-5--5-7-7-9--9--9--trill-around-with-that-hammer-on-maybe------------------------|
D|-5--5-7-7-9--9--9h12-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---7---9---11--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
hit a bunch of high e's on the 12th fret after "old ham radio"
I plagiarized the bridge from some one else's tab:
"
Bm7No marigolds in the promised CMaj7 land,
CThere's a hole in the G ground where theyDused to grow
Bm7Any man left on theCMaj7 Rio Grande
Em7Is theDking of the world as far asAI know
"
I think I prefer D/F# instead of Bm7 here, not that it really matters much
little fills:
e|--------------------------------------------12-16------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------12-13-------------------------|
G|---------7-7/9------10-9-7-9------------------------------some-crazy-----------|

sick organ riff:

this is all ripped off from the same tab (almost exactly):
