{c:verse 1}
[G]Trailer for [C]sale or rent,
[D7]Rooms to let... [G]fifty cents.
[G]No phone, no [C]pool, no pets;
[D]I ain't got no [D7]cigarettes.
Ah, [G]but... two hours of [C]pushin' broom
buys an [D7]eight by twelve [G]four-bit room.
[G7]I'm a man of [C]means by no means,
[D7]King of the [G]Road.
{c:verse 2}
[G]Third boxcar, [C]midnight train
[D7]Destination: [G]Bangor, Maine.
[G]Old worn out [C]suit and shoes,
[D]I don't pay no [D7]union dues.
I [G]smoke old stogies [C]I have found,
[D7]Short, but not too [G]big around.
[G7]I'm a man of [C]means by no means
[D7]King of the [G]Road.
{colb}
I know [G]every engineer on [C]every train,
[D7]all of their children and [G]all of their names
and [G]every handout in [C]every town,
and [D]ev'ry lock that ain't locked
when [D7]no one's around.
I sing:
{c:repeat verse 1}
