DON'T TAKE ME ALIVE
Steely Dan


VERSE 1:
Cm7
Agents of the law
           Gm7
Luckless pedestrian
              Fm7
I know you're out there
     Bb/Eb        C/F           D/G        Eb/Ab
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
       F/Bb      Cm7
Saying all is forgiven
           Gm7
Mad dog surrender
          Fm7
How can I answer
  Bb/Eb     C/F         D/G      Eb/Ab
A man of my mind can do anything

CHORUS:
  F/Bb Cm7
I'm a bookkeeper's son
        Gm7              G
I don't want to shoot no one
       Fm(add9)       Gm(add9)    Ab(add9)
Well I crossed my old man back in oregon
Bb(add9)        Cm(sus4)
Don't take me alive
      Cm7
Got a case of dynamite
        Gm7               G
I could hold out here all night
      Fm(add9)       Gm(add9)    Ab(add9)
Yes I crossed my old man back in oregon
Bb(add9)        Cm(sus4)
Don't take me alive

VERSE 2:
Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am
