Tabbed By: Taylor Gillespie EMail: [email protected] [Verse]
       Cm               Abm
In the cool shade of a banana tree

        Bbm                      Gbm
On the rugged trail towards the balcony

   Gbm7                  Db
A child of the twentieth century

   Ab
A dried up goliath and a weasel named Fee

       Cm            Abm
Far away in another place

        Bbm                  Gbm
A fading beauty named Milly Grace

         Gbm7                  Db
A gospel singer with pocks on her face

        Ab
And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace

       Cm            Abm
Fee was a Buddhist prodigy

     Bbm                Gbm
Long past the age of maturity

           Gbm7                  Db
Someday he knew it would set him free

        Ab
Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee
[Chorus]
Eb  Bb          Db
Oh, Fee you're trying to live a life

         Ab
That's completely free

       Eb
You're racing with the wind

       Bb
You're flirting with death

    Gm7
So have a cup of coffee

    Ab
And catch your breath

Eb  Bb          Db
Oh, Fee you're trying to live a life

         Ab
That's completely free

       Eb
You're racing with the wind

       Bb
You're flirting with death

    Gm7
So have a cup of coffee

    Ab
And catch your breath
Piano solo after the chorus: Cm Bb Ab Eb Fm7 Cm7 Bb [Verse]
     Cm                Abm
Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru

     Bbm                      Gbm
His heart was jumping like a kangaroo

        Gbm7                  Db
Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo

         Ab
It was hopping and jumping in wooden shoes

       Cm                 Abm
But Floyd was jealous and alone

     Bbm                Gbm
He wanted Milly for his own

   Gbm7                    Db
A desperate craving in his bones

         Ab
"Thier love," he said "I Will not condone."

       Cm                  Abm
Then one day on a ship to quebec

        Bbm                      Gbm
Floyd found Fee, and Milly on a lover's trek

    Gbm7                  Db
He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck

     Ab
It sliced through the air and Fee hit the deck
[Chorus]
Eb  Bb           Db
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

        Ab
That's completely free

     Eb
You want to so stay with Milly

    Bb
Until you're dead

        Gm7
But you just got a bottle

    Ab
Upside your head

Eb  Bb           Db
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

        Ab
That's completely free

     Eb
You want to so stay with Milly

    Bb
Until you're dead

        Gm7
But you just got a bottle

    Ab
Upside your head
[Verse]
       Cm                          Abm
Milly turned and began to scream at Floyd

        Bbm                      Gbm
She said "I think you're pretty mean"

      Gbm7                      Db
And though she was a thin as a small string bean

      Ab
She slammed him in the face with a nectarine

            Cm                      Abm
Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship

        Bbm                       Gbm
Until he hung by the rail by his fingertip

             Gbm7                         Db
Milly said "Floyd i'll make you lose your grip

           Ab
With this tiny piece of paper i will make you slip

     Cm                        Abm
So Milly took the paper and did the deed

      Bbm                        Gbm
Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed

            Gbm7                  Db
And as the sharks circled in and began to feed

       Ab
Milly knew her weasel was finally freed
[Chorus]
Eb  Bb           Db
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

         Ab
That's completely free

          Eb          Bb
Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple

       Gm7                        Ab
Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple

Eb  Bb           Db
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

         Ab
That's completely free

          Eb          Bb
Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple

       Gm7                        Ab
Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple
