Capo 2
Am E7 Am E7
Am
For years she watched him eyein'
E7
Every girl that walked by him
Am
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
E7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
Dm
He swore it was just that once
Am
He'd win back her trust
Dm E7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head
Am
She could hear the fat lady singing
E7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Am
He'll be beltin' soprano
E7
At the devil's piano
Dm Am
She's goin' down
Dm Am
Six feet underground
E7 Am E7 Am E7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now
Am
She showed the hussy to the door
E7
Said marriage is worth fightin' for
Am
They made love like never before
E7
Then she played possum while he slept
Dm
Sunrise lit the final act
Am
Poison pancakes coffee black
Dm E7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
Am
She could hear the fat lady singing
E7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Am
He'll be beltin' soprano
E7
At the devil's piano
Dm Am
She's goin' down
Dm Am
Six feet underground
E7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
Am E7 Am E7
Singin' now
Am
Sunday's front page paper read
E7
Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead
Am
If she's sorry it sure don't show it
E7
She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
Am
She could hear the fat lady singing
E7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Am
He'll be beltin' soprano
E7
At the devil's piano
Dm Am
She's goin' down
Dm Am
Six feet underground
E7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
Am E7 Am E7
Singin' now
Am
Singin' now
