E A E When I heard the ladiesman was dead I saw the rolling stone stopped moving Saw my ancient hero on the Sunset Strip He left behind a legacy of ruin Now painted ladies want to hold my gun Wonder if the whole time if I'd been acting When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film Had I really made a sound when they called action A C#m E C#m I swear that man was womankind's first husband They all died in a line to save him A C#m I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger's fan I'm a leading brand, I'm a one night stand A E I'm a ladiesman C#m A E Oh some ladiesman Oh some ladiesman E A E Couldn't see his used-up body at the funeral By virtue of the flailing of his conquests They tied down his casket with the garter belt 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 A are now silent I swear that man was womankind's first husband C#m A E Only son of the ladiesman Only son of the ladiesman Only son of the ladiesman
