Capo 1 
 
F#5                       D5           A5      G5 
I hear you are singing a song of the past; I see no tears 
F#5                           D5          A5        G5 
I know that you know that it may be the last for many years 
G5                  A5                  D5            A5      G5 
You'd gamble or give anything to be in with the better half 
G5               A5                      D5            A5         G5 
But how many friends must I have to begin with to make you laugh 
 

D5  G5   D5  G5  F5 
 
A5                          B5 
Will you still have a song to sing when 
       D5                                  F#5              E5 F#5 
The razor boy comes and takes your fancy things away? 
F#5                  C#5               D5        C#5   E5      D5 E5 
Will you still be singing it on that cold and windy day? 
 
 
F#5                            D5            A5         G5               F#5 
You know that the coming is so close at hand, you feel all right 
F#5                       D5          A5         G5 
I guess only women in cages can stand this kind of night 
G5             A5                     D5             A5           G5 
I guess only women in cages can play down the things they lose 
G5              A5                          D5             A5    G5 
You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down you can't refuse 
 

D5 G5 D5 G5 F5 
{Chorus} 
 
{Solo: 1st half of verse chords} 
G5             A5                  D5              A5          G5 
I guess only women in cages can play down the things they lose 
G5              A5                             D5            A5     G5 
You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down you can't refuse 
D5 G5 D5 G5 F5 
{Chorus} 
 
{Ending: 
F#5 D5 A5 
 
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 p lay with the record, but otherwise the 
song is very straightforward.
