Beautiful 3 chord song. Use this if tuned 1 full step down. Seems easier than it is -- the rhythm is relatively unintuitive. Use normal fingerings instead of those recommended -- didn't transpose the chords. G C G When I heard the ladiesman was dead G C G I saw the rolling stone stopped moving G C G Saw my ancient hero on the Sunset Strip G C G He left behind a legacy of ruin G C G Now painted ladies want to hold my gun G C G Wonder if the whole time if I'd been acting G C G When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film G C G Had I really made a sound when they called action C Em G Em I swear that man was womankind's first husband C Em G Em They all died in a line to save him C Em I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger's fan C Em I'm a leaning brand of a one night stand C G I'm a ladiesman Em C G Ooh, only son of a ladiesman Em C G Ooh, only son of a ladiesman G C G Couldn't see his used up body at the funeral G C G By virtue of the flailing of his conquests G C G They tied down his casket with the garter belt G C G Each troubled heart was beating in a sequin dress G C G Someone must console these lonesome daughters G C G No written word or ballad will appease them G C G Cowboy and the cop shot down the ladiesman G C G The humid nights in L.A. are now silent G C G I swear that man was womankind's first husband Em C G Only son of the ladiesman Em C G Only son of the ladiesman Em C G Only son of the ladiesman
