Razor Boy
By Steely Dan (Becker/Fagen)
Off the album "Countdown to Ecstasy"
Capo 1
I hear you are singing a song of the past; I see no tears
I know that you know that it may be the last for many years
You'd gamble or give anything to be in with the better half
But how many friends must I have to begin with to make you laugh
Will you still have a song to sing when
The razor boy comes and takes your fancy things away?
Will you still be singing it on that cold and windy day?
You know that the coming is so close at hand, you feel all right
I guess only women in cages can stand this kind of night
I guess only women in cages can play down the things they lose
You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down you can't refuse
[Chorus]
[Solo: 1st half of verse chords]
I guess only women in cages can play down the things they lose
You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down you can't refuse
[Chorus]
[Ending: ]
This should be pretty close to accurate. I welcome any questions, comments
the first position: the F#m is 244222 and the C#m is x46654. You have to
put a capo on the first fret to p lay with the record, but otherwise the
song is very straightforward.
