Razor Boy

By Steely Dan (Becker/Fagen)

Transcribed by Joe Hankin

Off the album "Countdown to Ecstasy"

Capo 1

F#m D A G

I hear you are singing a song of the past; I see no tears

F#m D A G

I know that you know that it may be the last for many years

G A D A G

You'd gamble or give anything to be in with the better half

G A D A G

But how many friends must I have to begin with to make you laugh

Dm G Dm G F

A B

Will you still have a song to sing when

D F#m E F#m

The razor boy comes and takes your fancy things away?

F#m C#m D C#m E D E

Will you still be singing it on that cold and windy day?

F#m D A G F#m

You know that the coming is so close at hand, you feel all right

F#m D A G

I guess only women in cages can stand this kind of night

G A D A G

I guess only women in cages can play down the things they lose

G A D A G

You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down you can't refuse

Dm G Dm G F

[Chorus]

[Solo: 1st half of verse chords]

G A D A G

I guess only women in cages can play down the things they lose

G A D A G

You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down you can't refuse

Dm G Dm G F

[Chorus]

[Ending: F#m D A]

This should be pretty close to accurate. I welcome any questions,

comments or corrections: email me at wetzil@hotmail.com. I just play the

chords in 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 play with the record, but

otherwise the song is very straightforward.
