[Intro]
AEF#mDAED
(x2)
[Verse]
A E
Headed down south to the land of the pines
F#m D
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
A
Starin' up the road
E D
Pray to God I see headlights
A E
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
F#m D
Pickin' you a bouquet of dogwood flowers
A
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
E D
I can see my baby tonight
[Chorus]
A E
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
F#m D
Rock me mama any way you feel
A E D
Hey mama rock me
A E
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
F#m D
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
A E D
Hey mama rock me
[Instrumental]
A E F#m D A E D
[Verse]
A E
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
F#m D
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
A E
My baby plays the guitar
D
I pick the banjo now
A E
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me down
F#m D
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
A
But I ain't a turnin' back
E D
To livin' that old life no more
[Chorus]
A E
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
F#m D
Rock me mama any way you feel
A E D
Hey mama rock me
A E
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
F#m D
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
A E D
Hey mama rock me
[Solo]

(x4)
[Verse]
(One strum per chord)
A E
Walkin' down south out of Roanoke
F#m
I caught a trucker out of Philly
D
Had a nice long toke
A E
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
D
To Johnson City, Tennessee
(pick up the strum)
A E
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
F#m
I hear my baby callin' my name
D
And I know that she's the only one
A
And if I die in Raleigh
E D
At least I will die free
[Chorus]
A E
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
F#m D
Rock me mama any way you feel
A E D
Hey mama rock me
A E
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
F#m D
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
A E D
Hey mama rock me
A E D
Hey mama rock me
