INTRO 

G  D  Em  C

G  D  C

1st VERSE 

 G                         D

Heading down south to the land of the pines

Em                        C

I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline

  G                      D                 C

Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights

G                            D

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Em                       C

Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers

          G                          D             C

And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

 

CHORUS 

    G                    D

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Em                C

Rock me momma any way you feel

 G  D        C

Hey,  momma rock me

 G                      D

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

 Em                   C

Rock me momma like a south bound train

 G  D        C

Hey,  momma rock me

2nd VERSE 

 G                    D

Running from the cold up in New England

      Em                         C

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

   G                    D              C

My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now

     G                            D

Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down

           Em                       C

I lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town

      G                      D                   C

But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more

 

CHORUS 

    G                    D

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

 Em                C

Rock me momma any way you feel

 G  D        C

Hey,  momma rock me

 G                      D

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

 Em                   C

Rock me momma like a south bound train

 G  D        C

Hey,  momma rock me

3rd VERSE 

 G                    D

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke

            Em                          C

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke

     G                            D

But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap

    C

To Johnson City, Tennessee

       G                   D

And I gotta get a move on before the sun

           Em                         C

I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one

    G                        D                C

And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free

 

 

CHORUS 

    G                   D

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

 Em                C

Rock me momma any way you feel

 G  D        C

Hey,  momma rock me

     G                      D

Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain

 Em                   C

Rock me momma like a south bound train

 G  D        C

Hey,  momma rock me
