Capo 2nd fret

Inro:

G5 D5 E5 C5
G5 D5 C5

Verse 1:

G5                        D5
Headed down south to the land of the pines
        E5                   C5
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
G5
Starin' up the road
            D5         C5
And pray to God I see headlights

  G5                         D5
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
E5                      C5
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
          G5
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
      D5             C5
I can see my baby tonight

Chorus:

   G5                   D5
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
E5              C5
Rock me mama anyway you feel
G5   G5     C5
Hey____, mama rock me
G5                     D5
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
E5                  C5
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G5   G5     C5
Hey____, mama rock me

Verse 2:

G5                     D5
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
      E5                         C5
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
   G5
My baby plays the guitar
D5              C5
I pick a banjo now

        G5                            D5
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
        E5                       C5
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
      G5
But I ain't a turnin' back
   D5                    C5
To livin' that old life no more

Chorus:

   G5                   D5
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
E5              C5
Rock me mama anyway you feel
G5   G5     C5
Hey____, mama rock me
G5                     D5
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
E5                  C5
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G5   G5     C5
Hey____, mama rock me

Verse 3:

G5                    D5
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
           E5
I caught a trucker out of Philly
      C5
Had a nice long toke
    G5                           D5
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
   C5
To Johnson City, Tennessee

      G5                   D5
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
          E5
I hear my baby callin' my name
      C5
And I know that she's the only one
    G5
And if I die in Raleigh
   D5                C5
At least I will die free

Chorus:

   G5                   D5
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
E5              C5
Rock me mama anyway you feel
G5   G5     C5
Hey____, mama rock me
G5                     D5
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
E5                  C5
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G5   G5     C5           
Hey____, mama rock me

Hey____, mama rock me
