King of the Road [A]
Roger Miller
[A] Trailers for [D]sale or rent [E7]Rooms to let [A]fifty cents
No phone, no [D]pool, no pets
[E7] Ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
[A] Two hours of [D]pushing broom buys an
[E7] Eight by twelve [A]four bit room,
I'm a Man of [D]means by no means
[E7] King of the [A]road
[A] Third boxcar [D]midnight train [E7] Destination [A]Bangor, Maine
Old worn out [D]suit and shoes
I [E7]don't pay no union dues, I smoke
[A] Old stogies [D]I have found
[E7] Short, but not [A]too big around, I'm a
[A] Man of [D]means by no means
[E7] King of the [A]road
I know [A]every engineer on [D]every train
[E7]All of their children [A]all of their names And every handout in [D]every town
[E7]Every lock that ain't locked when no one's around, I sing
[A] Trailers for [D]sale or rent [E7] Rooms to let [A]fifty cents
No phone, no [D]pool, no pets [E7] Ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
[A] Two hours of [D]pushing broom buys an [E7] Eight by twelve [A]four bit room,
I'm a [A] Man of [D]means by no means
