Fee

Cm 								Abm                                                
In the cool shade of the banana tree
Bbm 							Gbm      
On the rugged trail toward 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 pox 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       Ab      
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life that's completely free.
Eb    							Bb   
You're racing with the wind you're flirting with death
Gm7    							Ab
So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath

Piano solo after the chorus: Cm Bb Ab Eb Fm7 Cm7 Bb
   

Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru  
His heart was jumping like a kangaroo
Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo 
It was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes

But Floyd was jealous and alone 
He wanted Milly for his own
A desperate craving in his bones 
"Their love", he said, "I will not condone."

Then one day on a ship to 
Quebec Floyd found Milly on a lover's trek
He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck 
It sliced through the air, and Fee hit the deck

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life that's completely free
You want to stay with Milly until you're dead
But you just got a bottle upside your head

Milly turned and began to scream 
At Floyd, she said "You think you're pretty mean"
And though she was as thin as a small string bean 
She slammed him in the face with a nectarine

Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship 
Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip
said, "Floyd I'll make you lose your grip 
With this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip"

So Milly took that paper and did the deed 
Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed
And as the sharks circled and began to feed 
Milly knew her weasel was finally free

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life that's completely free
Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple
Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple
