Verse 1
A6 
D/F# 
Five names that I can hardly stand to     hear
Bm7 
Including yours and mine
A6 
And one more chimp who isn't here
I can see the ladies talking
D/F# 
How the times are getting hard
Bm7 
And that fearsome excavation
A6 
On Magnolia Boulevard

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Minor 7ths sit between minor and major in feel. The course covers the shapes and the songs they show up in most often. Learn minor 7th chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner

This is the definitive original version of Bad Sneakers by Steely Dan, transcribed exactly as it was recorded in the studio.

It is designed for experienced players looking to reproduce the full sonic intent and artistic expression of Steely Dan.
