[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

[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
