Coda:

Gadd2 Fadd2 Ebadd2

Balloon...

Gadd2 Fadd2 Ebadd2

Up, up, and away [repeat to fade]

N.B. there isn't a usable guitar fingering for those add2 chords - on

keyboard you'd voice them as 2nd/3rd/5th (e.g. Fadd2 => G/A/C) in the

right hand. Steely Dan would refer to this voicing years later as the

"mu-major" chord.
