Written by Walter Becker/Donald Fagen

	  		Intro : 
--------- 
 
 
 
     
      
Use your thumb for the lowest note 
 
Verse 1: 
--------- 
 
 
C#m11       Bm11      Gmaj7     F#m11 
Down at the Lido they welcome you 
 
     G           Bm7 
with sausage and beer. 
 
C#m11        Bm11      Gmaj7        F#m11 
Klaus and Maruska have been there, too. 
 
    Bm7        D/G             E/A 
But lately he spends his time here. 
 
 
little riff : 
 
 
 
D 
Hanging with the Mayor and all his friends, 
 
           A      B/A   E/A*   B/A    A 
and nobody cares. 
 
D 
As the sailor shuts out the sunrise 
 
                    A   E/A*    A   E/A*    A 
blacked out on the stairs. 
 
 
Chorus : 
--------- 
 
 
C#m7         F#m 
Knock twice, rap with your cane. 
 
C#m7               F#m 
Feels nice, you're out of the rain. 
 
E            D           E/D   Dmaj7 
We've got your skinny girl, 
 
G           Bm7      A 
here at the Western World. 
 
(Repeat Intro) 
 
 
Verse 2: 
--------- 
 
Ruthie will give you the silver key 
that opens the red door. 
Put down your jack, son and you will see 
the sweetness you've been crying for. 
 
In the night you hide from the madman 
you're longing to be. 
But it all comes out on the inside 
eventually. 
 
 
Chorus : 
--------- 
 
 
Knock twice, rap with your cane. 
Feels nice, you're out of the rain. 
We've got your skinny girl, 
here at the Western World. 
 
 
Solo :

G   A/G   G   A/G   A   B/A   A 
 
Then play the little riff - and back into a repeat of an earlier 
bit : 
 
In the night you hide from the madman 
you're longing to be. 
But it all comes out on the inside 
eventually. 
 
 
Then play another chorus, followed by :
