King of the Road! Ukulele cover with chords - Roger Miller - easy (and fun!) to play

King of the Road! Written and recorded by country crooner sometime around 1964, released in 1965. This one was so much fun and so easy to play, especially after a bit of a rough week. Singing/playing it seemed to wipe those cares away, if only for a short while.
I hope you'll enjoy my ukulele version of this country classic!

Nice version. I do it in C. Fun song.

Thanks so much! Yeah, I guess C would be more Male friendly eh? I'm doing it in F, with a modulation to G. Technically I should've only modulated a semi-tone, but I'm not good playing in F#, so G it was! VERY fun song! Thanks again, wishing you a great evening! ❤🎵🎶
