Capo 2
Em B7 Em B7
Em
For years she watched him eyein'
B7
Every girl that walked by him
Em
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
B7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
Am
He swore it was just that once
Em
He'd win back her trust
Am B7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head
Em
She could hear the fat lady singing
B7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Em
He'll be beltin' soprano
B7
At the devil's piano
Am Em
She's goin' down
Am Em
Six feet underground
B7 Em B7 Em B7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now
Em
She showed the hussy to the door
B7
Said marriage is worth fightin' for
Em
They made love like never before
B7
Then she played possum while he slept
Am
Sunrise lit the final act
Em
Poison pancakes coffee black
Am B7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
Em
She could hear the fat lady singing
B7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Em
He'll be beltin' soprano
B7
At the devil's piano
Am Em
She's goin' down
Am Em
Six feet underground
B7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
Em B7 Em B7
Singin' now
Em
Sunday's front page paper read
B7
Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead
Em
If she's sorry it sure don't show it
B7
She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
Em
She could hear the fat lady singing
B7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging
Em
He'll be beltin' soprano
B7
At the devil's piano
Am Em
She's goin' down
Am Em
Six feet underground
B7
'Cause the fat lady's singin'
Em B7 Em B7
Singin' now
Em
Singin' now
