Fee
From: Eric Berman <ericbe@microsoft.com>
From: David Douglas McCallum <kcjonz@wam.umd.edu>

       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

(same chords for each verse)
Far away in another place
A fading beauty named Milly Grace
A gospel singer with pox on her face
And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace

Fee was a Buddhist prodigy
Long past the age of maturity
Someday he knew it would set him free
Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee

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

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 to Floyd and began to scream
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
Milly 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

Also, the key you put it in is the old one that they recorded it in for Junta and used to play years ago. Nowadays they have dropped it one half step. This allows the use of open chords
[which Trey did, when I watched him] and is a bit easier on the vocal chords - mine anyway. I would hope that the full version would make it into the CHORDS file.

P.S. The version of Fee from Ian's Farm - 8/27/87 has the piano solo
section going through twice each time...more room for Page to stretch
out =^)
