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
