In the cool shade, [Abm]
[Fm] a rugged trail toward [Dbm] the balcony,
[A] a child of the 20th [Db] century, [Ab] a dried up Goliath
and a weasel named Paige.
[Cm] Far away in [Ebm] another place, [Db] a fading beauty
[Dbm] named Lily Grace, [A] a gospel singer with [Db] pox on her face
and [Ab] a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace.
He
[Cm] was a Buddhist [Abm] prodigy, [Bbm] long past the age [Dbm] of maturity.
[A] Some day he knew it [Db] would set him free
like [Ab] it did for Floyd the chimpanzee.
[Bb]
[Eb] Whoah, [Bb] oh, bean,
[Db] you're trying to live a life [Ab] that's completely free.
[Eb] You're racing with the wind, [Bb] you're burning with death.
So have a cup of coffee [Ab] and get your breath.
[Eb] Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, oh, baby
[Db] You're trying to live a life [Ab] that's completely
[Eb] You're racing with the wind, [Bb] you're bursting with death
So have a cup of coffee [Ab] and catch your breath
[Cm] They
[Bb] [Eb]
[Fm]
[C] [Gm] [Bb]
[Eb] first met me [Ebm] [Fm]
[Dbm] [A] like a beast in a cage
[Db] In an old shot suit [Ab] was I
[Bb] [Gm] But Stella [Ebm] said hello
She [Fm] wanted Millie [Dbm] before his own
[A]
[Db] [Ab] Their love, she said, I
[Cm] One day on [Ebm] a ship to Quebec
[Fm] That day a million [Gbm] lovers [A]
were [Db] broken
[Ab] It's like through the air, it's the intertia
[Eb] Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, me
[Db] You're trying to live a life [Ab] that's completely free
[Eb] You wanna stay with Millie [Bb] until you're dead
But you just got a bottle [Ab] outside the head
[Eb] Oh,
[Bb] oh, oh, me
[Db] You're trying to live a life [Ab] that's completely free
[Eb] You wanna stay with Millie [Bb] until you're dead
[Gm] But you just got a bottle [Ab] outside the head
Oh, oh, oh, me
[Cm] It [Bb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Fm] [Cm]
[Bb] [G]
[Gm] turned and [Ebm] began
[Bbm] You [Gb] think you're pretty [A]
mean
And though she wasn't thin [Db] as a small string bean
[Ab] She slammed him in the face
[Eb] Back over [Ebm] the edge of the ship
Till [Bbm] he hung from [Gbm] a good tip
Millie said, Floyd, I'll [Db] make you lose your grip
[Ab] With this tiny piece
[Cm] So Millie took that paper [Ebm] and bent the teeth
[Fm] Floyd hit the water [Gbm] with astonishing [A] speed
And as the shark circled in and [Db] began to feed
[Ab] Millie knew the weasel was finally free
[Eb] Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, me
[Db] You're trying to live a life [Ab] that's completely free
[Eb] Floyd is dead, [Bb] he's nothing but a ripple
Cause Millie took that paper [Ab] and sliced him on the nipple
[Eb] Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, me
[Db] You're trying to live a life [Ab] that's completely free
[Eb] Floyd is dead, [Bb] he's nothing but a ripple
Cause Millie took that paper [Eb] and sliced him on the nipple
Oh, [Bb] oh, oh, me
[Db] You're trying to live a life [Ab] that's completely free
[Eb] You're racing with the wind, [Bb] you're floating with death
So have a cup of coffee [Ab] and catch [Cm] your breath
[Eb] Oh, oh, [Bb] oh, me
[Db] You're trying to live [Ab] a life that's completely free
[Eb] You're racing with the wind, you're [Bb] floating with death
So have a cup of coffee [Ab] and catch your breath
