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

They all died in a line to save him

I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger's fan
         C                          Em7
I'm a leaning brand of a one night stand

I'm a ladies----man

Couldn't see his used up body at the funeral
                                                    G/Em G open
By virtue of the flailing of his conquests

They tied down his casket with the garter belt
                                                    G/Em G open
Each troubled heart was beating in a sequin dress

Someone must console these lonesome daughters

No written word or ballad will appease them

Cowboy and the cop shot down the ladiesman

The humid nights in LA are now silence
