Capo 2
Dm A7 Dm A7
Dm
For years she watched him eyein'
A7
Every girl that walked by him
Dm
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
A7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
Gm
He swore it was just that once
Dm
He'd win back her trust
Gm A7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head
Dm
She could hear the fat lady singing
A7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Dm
He'll be beltin' soprano
A7
At the devil's piano
Gm Dm
She's goin' down
Gm Dm
Six feet underground
A7 Dm A7 Dm A7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now
Dm
She showed the hussy to the door
A7
Said marriage is worth fightin' for
Dm
They made love like never before
A7
Then she played possum while he slept
Gm
Sunrise lit the final act
Dm
Poison pancakes coffee black
Gm A7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
Dm
She could hear the fat lady singing
A7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Dm
He'll be beltin' soprano
A7
At the devil's piano
Gm Dm
She's goin' down
Gm Dm
Six feet underground
A7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
Dm A7 Dm A7
Singin' now
Dm
Sunday's front page paper read
A7
Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead
Dm
If she's sorry it sure don't show it
A7
She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
Dm
She could hear the fat lady singing
A7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Dm
He'll be beltin' soprano
A7
At the devil's piano
Gm Dm
She's goin' down
Gm Dm
Six feet underground
A7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
Dm A7 Dm A7
Singin' now
