The Proclaimers' version may use different chords but then you might want to
transpose it for your voice anyway.
Here we go (taken from a greatest hits collection):
KING OF THE ROAD
(Roger Miller)
Bb Eb F Bb
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents,
Eb F
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
Bb Eb F Bb
Two hours of pushing broom buys an eight by twelve fourbit room,
Eb F Bb
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
Bb Eb F Bb
Third box car midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine,
Eb F Bb
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues, I smoke
Eb F Bb
Old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around,
Eb F Bb
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
B E
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 ...
B E F# B
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents,
E F#
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
B E F# B
Two hours of pushing broom buys a eight by twelve fourbit room,
E F# B
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
rep. last verse
