capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherVerse 1
Trailers for sale or rent,
Rooms to let fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets.
I ain't got no cigarettes.
Ah, but...two hours of pushin' broom,
Buys an...eight-by-twelve four-bit room.
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the road.
Verse 2
Third boxcar, midnight train,
Destination Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues.
I smoke...old stogies I have found,
Short, but not too big around.
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the road.
(Key change from A to Bb)
Bridge
I know...every engineer on every train,
All their children, 'n all of their names,
And...every handout in every town,
And...every lock that ain't locked when no one's around.
Verse 3
I sing...trailers for sale or rent,
Rooms to let, fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets.
I ain't got no cigarettes.
Ah, but...two hours of pushin' broom,
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room.
I'm a...man of means by no means,
King of the road.
[Outro] (bass only)
Trailers for sale or rent,
Rooms to let, fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets.
I ain't got no cigarettes.
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom,
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room...
