Songs For My Own Enjoyment: King of the Road

G           C              

Trailer for sale or rent,  

D7           G             

Rooms to let fifty cents.  

             C              

No phone, no pool, no pets  

  D7                       

I ain't got no cigarettes  

        G            C              

Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom  

        D7              G              

Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room  

      G7     C                  

I'm a man of means by no means  

D7          G      

King of the road.  

G             C                

Third boxcar, midnight train,  

D7          G               

Destination Bangor, Maine.  

             C                 

Old worn out suits and shoes,  

  D7                        

I don't pay no union dues,  

        G           C             

I smoke old stogies I have found  

D7                 G           

Short, but not too big around  

      G7     C                  

I'm a man of means by no means  

D7          G      

King of the road.  

       G                 C            

I know every engineer on every train  

D7                         G                   

All of their children, and all of their names  

    G                C           

And every handout in every town  

    D7                                                  

And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around.  

        G           C              

I sing, Trailer for sale or rent,  

D7           G             

Rooms to let fifty cents.  

             C              

No phone, no pool, no pets  

  D7                       

I ain't got no cigarettes  

        G            C              

Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom  

        D7              G              

Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room  

      G7     C                  

I'm a man of means by no means  

D7          G                

King of the road      (x 3)
