[Verse 1]
A D Trailers for sale or rent, E A Rooms to let fifty cents, A D No phone, no pool, no pets. E I ain't got no cigarettes. A D Ah, but...two hours of pushin' broom, E A Buys an...eight-by-twelve four-bit room. A D I'm a man of means by no means, E A King of the road.
[Verse 2]
A D Third boxcar, midnight train, E A Destination Bangor, Maine. A D Old worn out suit and shoes, E I don't pay no union dues. A D I smoke...old stogies I have found, E A Short, but not too big around. A D I'm a man of means by no means, E A King of the road.
(Key change from A to Bb)

[Verse 3]
Bb Eb I sing...trailers for sale or rent, F Bb Rooms to let, fifty cents, Bb Eb No phone, no pool, no pets. F I ain't got no cigarettes. Bb Eb Ah, but...two hours of pushin' broom, F Bb Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room. Bb Eb I'm a...man of means by no means, F Bb King of the road.
