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)
BbEbFBb
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents,
EbF
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
BbEbFBb
Two hours of pushing broom buys an eight by twelve fourbit room,
EbFBb
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
BbEbFBb
Third box car midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine,
EbFBb
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues, I smoke
EbFBb
Old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around,
EbFBb
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
BE
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 ...
BEF#B
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents,
EF#
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
BEF#B
Two hours of pushing broom buys a eight by twelve fourbit room,
EF#B
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road
