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
