A            D               E            A
Trailers for sale or rent  / Rooms to let fifty cents
A            D             / E
No phone, no pool, no pets / I ain't got no cigarettes
 
 
A                    D              / E                      A
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom / Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
A            D                      / E
I'm a man of means by no means      / King of the road.
 
 
A            D               / E            A
Third boxcar, midnight train / Destination Bangor, Maine.
A            D               / E            A
Old worn out suit and shoes, / I don't pay no union dues,
 
 
A                    D           / E            A
I smoke old stogies I have found / Short, but not too big around
A            D                   / E
I'm a man of means by no means   /King of the road
 
 
Bb                       Eb         /F                          Bb
I know every engineer on every train/All of their children, and all of their names
Bb                    Eb       /F
And every handout in every town/And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
 

 

 

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