Father John Misty - Only Son of the Ladiesman

Chord diagram for G
Chord diagram for C
Chord diagram for Em
      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
