When I heard the ladiesman was dead
                                             G5 G5 open
I saw the rolling stone stopped moving
                                           G5    G5 open
Saw my ancient hero on the Sunset Strip
                                      G5 G5 open
He left behind a legacy of ruin
                                        G5       G5 open
Now painted ladies want to hold my gun
                                                     G5 G5 open
Wonder if the whole time if I'd been acting
                                                 G5   G5 open
When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film
                                                                G5 G5 open
Had I really made a sound when they called action

I swear that man was womankind's first husband

They all died in a line to save him
         C5                          E5
I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger's fan
         C5                          E5
I'm a leaning brand of a one night stand
         C5    G5 open
I'm a ladies----man

C5                           G5 open
Oh        some ladiesman
C5                           G5 open
Oh        some ladiesman

Couldn't see his used up body at the funeral
                                                    G5 G5 open
By virtue of the flailing of his conquests
G5 open                                G5     G5 open
They tied down his casket with the garter belt
                                                    G5 G5 open
Each troubled heart was beating in a sequin dress
G5 open                                  G5                G5 open
Someone must console these lonesome daughters
                                                    G5 G5 open
No written word or ballad will appease them

Cowboy and the cop shot down the ladiesman
                                                    G5 G5 open
The humid nights in LA are now silence

C5          E5                G5 open G5 open/F#5 E5
I swear that man was womankind's first husband

Only son of the ladiesman
