{c:verse 1}
[C]Trailer for [F]sale or rent,
[G7]Rooms to let... [C]fifty cents.
[C]No phone, no [F]pool, no pets;
[G]I ain't got no [G7]cigarettes.
Ah, [C]but... two hours of [F]pushin' broom
buys an [G7]eight by twelve [C]four-bit room.
[C7]I'm a man of [F]means by no means,
[G7]King of the [C]Road.
{c:verse 2}
[C]Third boxcar, [F]midnight train
[G7]Destination: [C]Bangor, Maine.
[C]Old worn out [F]suit and shoes,
[G]I don't pay no [G7]union dues.
I [C]smoke old stogies [F]I have found,
[G7]Short, but not too [C]big around.
[C7]I'm a man of [F]means by no means
[G7]King of the [C]Road.
{colb}
I know [C]every engineer on [F]every train,
[G7]all of their children and [C]all of their names
and [C]every handout in [F]every town,
and [G]ev'ry lock that ain't locked
when [G7]no one's around.
I sing:
{c:repeat verse 1}
