KING OF THE ROAD (Roger Miller)
BbEbFBb Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents, EbF No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes, ah but BbEbFBb Two hours of pushing broom buys an eight by twelve fourbit room, EbFBb I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
BbEbFBb Third box car midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine, EbFBb Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues, I smoke EbFBb Old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around, EbFBb I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
BE I know every engineer on every train, F#B All of the children and all of their names E And every handout in every town F# And ev'ry lock that ain't locked when
No one's around I sing ...
