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.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STEELY DAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
