King Of The Roadby Roger Miller

King of the Road is a song written by country singer Roger Miller, winning five Grammy Awards in 1966.

The arrangement was done with only three chords, I-IV-V, but goes up a half step in the middle of the song resulting in three more chords. 

To start things of we break down how barre chords work in particular for the E and A families. 

Then we take a look at the key in which Miller plays it himself, starting in B and going up to C. (The original recording was done in Bb to B)

The lesson includes two more options, from A to Bb, and E to F. Of course, you could play it in any key, especially if you're comfortable playing barre chords. 

A lot more details are covered, such as the picking and/or strumming with swing feel, alternating bass notes, while muting the strings in some parts throughout the arrangement.

Lastly the outro. This part includes a distinctive ascending bass line moving up to chord V7, and a descending major scale of chord I to end the song.
