Wagon Wheel

Capo #2

G D Em C

G D C

2x

G D

Headed down south to the land of the pines

Em C

And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

G

Starin' up the road

D C

And pray to God I see headlights

G D

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Em C

Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers

G

And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh

D C

I can see my baby tonight

G D

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Em C

Rock me mama anyway you feel

G D C

Hey, mama rock me

G D

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Em C

Rock me mama like a south-bound train

G D C

Hey, mama rock me

G D Em C

G D C

Ru ni ' from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband

My baby plays the guitar

I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now

Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave

But I ain't a turnin' back

To livin' that old life no more

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama anyway you feel

Hey, mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a south-bound train

Hey, mama rock me

G D Em C

G D C

2x

G D

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke

Em

I caught a trucker out of Philly

C

Had a nice long toke

G D

But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap

C

To Johnson City, Tennessee

G D

And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun

Em

I hear my baby callin' my name

C

And I know that she's the only one

G

And if I die in Raleigh

D C

At least I will die free

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama anyway you feel

Hey, mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a south-bound train

Hey, mama rock me
