Despite having only three and a half chords in it, this song has a fairly
tricky strumming pattern and overall rhythmic structure, because of all its
half bars (2/4) and extra bars of F, which are quite hard to memorize.

This is the strumming pattern for all the full bars of 4/4:

    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +
   |3-----3-3---3-----3-3---3---3-3-|
   |0-----0-0---0-----0-0---0---0-0-|
   |0-----0-0---0-----0-0---0---0-0-|
   |0-----0-0---0-----0-0---0---0-0-|
   |x-------------------------------|
   |3-----3-3---3-----3-3---3---3-3-|

Whenever there is a half bar (2/4), play the first half of the pattern:

    1   +   2   +
   |3-----3-3---3---|
   |1-----1-1---1---|
   |0-----0-0---0---|
   |2-----2-0h2-2---|
   |x---------------|
   |3-----3-3---3---|

 When I heard the ladies' man 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

 I swear that man was womankind's first husband
 They all died in a line to save him
 I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger's fan
 I'm a leading brand of a one night stand
 I'm a ladies' man



CHORUS
                  (2/4)

 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



VERSE 4
                  (2/4)
  F                Bb/F     F               5x

 Someone must console these lonesome daughters
 No written word or ballad will appease them
 The cowboy and the cop shot down the ladies' man
 The humid nights in L.A. are now silence
 I swear that man was womankind's first husband



CHORUS
                  (2/4)
