Steely Dan - King Of The World Tab

I don't know where they get their guitarists, but whoever they got for this album, made this song:

Intro: quiet wah type thing

e
B
G
D
A /7 7 /7 7 7 /7 7 /7 7 7
E 8 10 8 8 10 8
when the bass chords kick in, you pick it up a little:
e
B
G
D
A /7 7 /7 7 /7 7 /7 x 7 x 7
E 8 10 8 10 8 10
repeat

Main part fades in (with reverb or something). this is played throughout the verses:

strum the chords
e
B 5 5 7 7 9 9 9h11
G 5 5 7 7 9 9 9 trill around with that hammer on maybe
D 5 5 7 7 9 9 9h12
A 7 9 11
E
hit a bunch of high e's on the 12th fret after "old ham radio"

I plagiarized the bridge from some one else's tab:

" [Bm7]No marigolds in the promised [CMaj7] land, [C]There's a hole in the [G] ground where they[D]used to grow [Bm7]Any man left on the[CMaj7] Rio Grande [Em7]Is the[D]king of the world as far as[A]I know " I think I prefer D/F# instead of Bm7 here, not that it really matters much little fills:
e 12 16
B 12 13
G 7 7/9 10 9 7 9 some crazy
D 9h10p9 10 5/7 arpeggio rip
A 7
E 8
1:14 1:21 1:29 1:35

Bridge again

Sick organ riff:

E 10 14 10 12 10 12 10 13 11/13
B 12 10 12 12 12 10 8 10 13p12 11 11p10 9
G 9
D
A
E
E 11/13

this is all ripped off from the same tab (almost exactly): "
