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