Intro: G D Em C (2X)

G D Em C
Headed down south to the land of the pines, I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

G D C
Starin� up the road and pray to God I see headlights
G D Em
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours, Pickin� me a bouquet of
C
dogwood flowers
G D C
And I'm a hopin� for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

Ch:
G D Em C
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey� mama rock me
G D Em C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey� mama rock me

Break: G D Em C G D C

G D Em
Runnin' from the cold up in New England, I was born to be a fiddler in an
C
old-time string band
G D C
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now
G D Em
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin� me now, Lost my money playin�
C
poker so I had to up and leave
G D C
But I ain�t a turnin� back to livin� that old life no more

Ch:
G D Em C
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey� mama rock me
G D Em C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey� mama rock me

Break: G D Em C G D C


Strum each note once:
G D Em
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out of Philly, had
C
a nice long toke
G D C
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee

Back to normal strumming pattern:
G D Em
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun, I hear my baby callin� my name,
C
and I know that she's the only one
G D C
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free

Ch:
G D Em C
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey� mama rock me
G D Em C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C C� D� G�
Hey� mama rock me�
