Capo 2
C#m G#7 C#m G#7
C#m
For years she watched him eyein'
G#7
Every girl that walked by him
C#m
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
G#7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
F#m
He swore it was just that once
C#m
He'd win back her trust
F#m G#7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head
C#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
G#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
C#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
G#7
At the devil's piano
F#m C#m
She's goin' down
F#m C#m
Six feet underground
G#7 C#m G#7 C#m G#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now
C#m
She showed the hussy to the door
G#7
Said marriage is worth fightin' for
C#m
They made love like never before
G#7
Then she played possum while he slept
F#m
Sunrise lit the final act
C#m
Poison pancakes coffee black
F#m G#7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
C#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
G#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
C#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
G#7
At the devil's piano
F#m C#m
She's goin' down
F#m C#m
Six feet underground
G#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
C#m G#7 C#m G#7
Singin' now
C#m
Sunday's front page paper read
G#7
Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead
C#m
If she's sorry it sure don't show it
G#7
She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
C#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
G#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
C#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
G#7
At the devil's piano
F#m C#m
She's goin' down
F#m C#m
Six feet underground
G#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
C#m G#7 C#m G#7
Singin' now
C#m
Singin' now
