[G] [C] [D] [Gm]
[Eb]
[G] Ooh..
I fell [C] in love with [F] this [Bb] dreamative man
[C] Who played guitar in [Dm] a rock and roll band
[G] And [C] every night [F] I'd [Gm] watch them [Bb] play
[A] But it happened [D] at the matinée
[E] Oh, I [G] squirmed when he [Eb] bent those [C] strings
And I [Cm] screamed when he started to [F] sing
The [C] way he moved and looked so [G] groovy
Well, you know, [C] he did something to [G] me
[C] Stringman, [F] [Bb] [Eb] Stringman
So [G] [C] I followed [A] the stringman
[Bb] [C] He played guitar [Dm] in a string band
[G] And [C] every night [A] I watched them [Bb] play
And [A] they got [D] better every [G] day
Pretty [Eb] soon, and what do you [C] think?
Everybody's saying [Eb] they're the [Gb] biggest [Ab] [F] thing
Hitting records and making a scene
[Eb] Sexy pictures in [F] the fan
[C] [G] magazines
[C] Bang, bang, bang, [F] bang,

stringman
[Bb] He [G] always called [Dm] me his biggest [G] fan
Though [Gm] he was [C] kind, I should have known [F] [Bb] better
[A] Than to think [D] we'd always stay together
[G] And then one night the [E] show was [G] wild and [C] loud
I saw a pretty girl out in the [Cm] crowd
She waved at him [Am] and caught [F] his eye
[Eb] The way he looked at [F] her, it made me cry
