Hot Razors in My Heart

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

From: paulr@umbc4.umbc.edu (Paul Riddle)

Subject: TAB: "Hot Razors in My Heart" (Crack The Sky)

Anyone else out there into Crack? This is a transcription of what was

probably their biggest song, plus bass and keyboard lines, minus the

solo, which I haven't gotten around to writing out. Just thought I'd

send along what I had.

Also, if anyone feels like submitting some Tom Petty, please do so...

Anyone know "We're all right for now" off of Full Moon Fever?

Paul
