Throw Back The Little Ones Chords

(ver. 1)
Steely Dan
[Verse 1]
Em7         Bm7       Am           B7
Lost in the barrio, I walk like an injun
   Em7             A
So Carlo won't sus pect
                 F#m7         B  A
That something's wrong here
  G     F#m7   Em7       G     Bm7  Cmaj7
I dance in     place and paint my   face
    Em9      F#m7  Gsus2  G/C
And act like I be  long   here
 
 
[Chorus]
G#m7           F#m7
Throw back the little ones
    G#m7        F#m7     A
And pan fry the big ones
    G#m7            A      Amaj7
Use tact, poise and reason
    G#m7   E       B    A  B
And gently squeeze them
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em7           Bm7
Hot licks and rhetoric
      Am             B7
Don't count much for nothing
   Em7             A            F#m7     B  A
Be glad if you can use what you borrow
     G    F#m7 Em7         G    Bm7 Cmaj7
So I pawn my   crown for a ride up  town
                                  ^^^^^^^
    Em9    F#m7     Gsus2  G/C    D/C
And buy it back  to mor    row
 
 
[Chorus]
           G#m7           F#m7
Throw back the little ones
    G#m7        F#m7     A
And pan fry the big ones
    G#m7            A      Amaj7
Use tact, poise and reason
    G#m7   E       B    A  B
And gently squeeze them

[Verse 3]
Em7         Bm7        Am7          B7
Done like a matador, I pray for the weekend
    Em7             A                 F#m7     B  A
And hope the little girls still throw roses
          G      F#m7  Em7      G    Bm7  Cmaj7
Else I'll change my    bait and move up   state
                                ^^^^^^
   Em9      F#m9   Gsus2  G/C   D/C

Throw back the little ones
    G#m7        F#m9
And pan fry the big ones

Use tact, poise and reason
