Capo 2
A#m F7 A#m F7
A#m
For years she watched him eyein'
F7
Every girl that walked by him
A#m
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
F7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
D#m
He swore it was just that once
A#m
He'd win back her trust
D#m F7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head
A#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
F7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
A#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
F7
At the devil's piano
D#m A#m
She's goin' down
D#m A#m
Six feet underground
F7 A#m F7 A#m F7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now
A#m
She showed the hussy to the door
F7
Said marriage is worth fightin' for
A#m
They made love like never before
F7
Then she played possum while he slept
D#m
Sunrise lit the final act
A#m
Poison pancakes coffee black
D#m F7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
A#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
F7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
A#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
F7
At the devil's piano
D#m A#m
She's goin' down
D#m A#m
Six feet underground
F7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
A#m F7 A#m F7
Singin' now
A#m
Sunday's front page paper read
F7
Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead
A#m
If she's sorry it sure don't show it
F7
She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
A#m
She could hear the fat lady singing
F7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
A#m
He'll be beltin' soprano
F7
At the devil's piano
D#m A#m
She's goin' down
D#m A#m
Six feet underground
F7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
A#m F7 A#m F7
Singin' now
A#m
Singin' now
