F#m
For years she watched him eyein'
C#7
Every girl that walked by him
F#m
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
C#7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
Bm
He swore it was just that once
F#m
He'd win back her trust
Bm C#7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head
F#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
C#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
F#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
C#7
At the devil's piano
Bm F#m
She's goin' down
Bm F#m
Six feet underground
C#7 F#m C#7 F#m C#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now
F#m
She showed the hussy to the door
C#7
Said marriage is worth fightin' for
F#m
They made love like never before
C#7
Then she played possum while he slept
Bm
Sunrise lit the final act
F#m
Poison pancakes coffee black
Bm C#7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
F#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
C#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging

He'll be beltin' soprano

At the devil's piano

She's goin' down

Six feet underground

'Cause the fat lady's singin'

Sunday's front page paper read
C#7
Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead
F#m
If she's sorry it sure don't show it
C#7
She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
F#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
C#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
F#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
C#7
At the devil's piano
