________________________________________________________________
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.

I know this superhighway
Ebmaj7Bbmaj7
This bright, familiar sun
Ebmaj7D7#9 Gm7Ab7Gm7Gm7
I guess that I'm the lucky one

Who wrote that tired sea song
Ebmaj7Bbmaj7
Set on this peaceful shore
Ebmaj7D7#9 Gm7Ab7Gm7Gm7
You think you've heard this one before

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

Gm7 x8bars

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

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.
