Someone requested tab for this one - It's all based on pretty simple chords,
so I'm just going to give the chord shapes for most of it.

My memory's failed me on the words , so I'll type some to give an idea of
how chords and words match up


                  MY OLD SCHOOL       -    STEELY DAN
                 ---------------

INTRO:

Em7      C

A-----------5-----------
E-----3-5s7---7s5-3-5-0-3

s=slide


VERSE:
-------

(each chord is strummed on the 2 and 4 beats for most of the verse)


  G                                  Em

  C                D                    C/G  G  C/G     G

CHORUS
-------

D            Am        Bm     G

Rhythmic riff-thing:

G---7----9----------------7-9-7-9
D---7----9--7---7--9-9----7-9-7-9----}
A---5----7--7---7--9-9----5-7-5-7----}-   Play three times
E-----------5---5--7-7---------------}


C  Cdim  D


Then back to another verse

Just after the riff above, before the last verse (I think) there's
a bit more instrumental stuff with saxes.

The chords for this are:

G         Am   Bm   Em    D7   Am   Bm   Em    D    D7     G
