All the m7#5 chords in verse are correct- though I would call B7(#9#5) a Bm7#5. They are not specifically sus2 chords as someone else has said. The very first chord in the intro should be Gmaj9, though.

Hey, the guys that tabbed this didn't misrepresent his contribution - specifically noted that it was how he played it. Nothing wrong with that, especially when you have chord voicings as complex and rare as typically are found with Steely Dan songs. thanks for the contribution.

This tab is really nice, thanks man! Much more accurate than other versions. With Steely Dan it's hard to simplify chords/arrangements because that's what makes them special, and the quality and extension of chords are super important. Well done!
