Capo 2

D#m
For years she watched him eyein'
A#7
Every girl that walked by him
D#m
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
A#7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
G#m
He swore it was just that once
D#m
He'd win back her trust
G#m A#7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head
D#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
A#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
D#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
A#7
At the devil's piano
G#m D#m
She's goin' down
G#m D#m
Six feet underground
A#7 D#m A#7 D#m A#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now
D#m
She showed the hussy to the door
A#7
Said marriage is worth fightin' for
D#m
They made love like never before
A#7
Then she played possum while he slept
G#m
Sunrise lit the final act
D#m
Poison pancakes coffee black
G#m A#7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
D#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
A#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
D#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
A#7
At the devil's piano
G#m D#m
She's goin' down
G#m D#m
Six feet underground
A#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
D#m A#7 D#m A#7
Singin' now
D#m
Sunday's front page paper read
A#7
Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead
D#m
If she's sorry it sure don't show it
A#7
She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
D#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
A#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
D#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
A#7
At the devil's piano
G#m D#m
She's goin' down
G#m D#m
Six feet underground
A#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
D#m A#7 D#m A#7
Singin' now
D#m
Singin' now
