Wagon Wheel

[G] [D] [Em] [C]
[G] [D] [C] [C]

[G]Headed down south to the [D]land of the pines
[Em]Thumbin' my way into [C]North Caroline
[G]Starin' at the road
[D]pray to God [C]I see headligh[C]ts

I [G]made it down the coast in [D]seventeen hours
[Em]Pickin' me a bouquet of [C]dogwood flowers
And [G]I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
I can [D]see my baby to[C]night  [C]

[one strum per chord]
So [G]rock me mama like a [D]wagon wheel
[Em]Rock me mama any[C]way you feel

[resume strumming]
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock me [C]

Well[G],Rock me mama like the [D]wind and the rain
[Em]Rock me mama like a [C]south-bound train
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock me[C]

[G] [D] [Em] [C]
[G] [D] [C] [C]

Well [G]runnin' from the cold [D]up in New England
I [Em]was born to be a fiddler in an [C]old-time stringband
My [G]baby plays the guitar
[D]I pick a banjo [C]now  [C]

Oh, the [G]North country winters keep a [D]gettin' me now
Lost my [Em]money playin' poker so I [C]had to up and leave
But I [G]ain't a turnin' back
To [D]livin' that old life [C]no more [C]

So [G]rock me mama like a [D]wagon wheel
[Em]Rock me mama any[C]way you feel
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock me[C]
Well [G]rock me mama like the [D]wind and the rain
[Em]Rock me mama like a [C]south-bound train
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock me[C]

[single strum for each chord]
Well [G]walkin' to the south [D]out of Roanoke
I caught a [Em]trucker out of Philly
Had a [C]nice long toke
But [G]he's a headed west from the [D]Cumberland Gap

[resume regular strum]
To [C]Johnson City, [C]Tennessee

And I [G]gotta get a move on [D]head for the sun
I hear my [Em]baby callin' runnin'
And I [C]know that she's the only one
And [G]if I die in Raleigh
At [D]least I will die [C]free [C]

So [G]rock me mama like a [D]wagon wheel
[Em]Rock me mama any[C]way you feel
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock m[C]e
Well [G]rock me mama like the [D]wind and the rain
[Em]Rock me mama like a [C]south-bound train
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock m[C]e

[single strum again]
So [G]rock me mama like a [D]wagon wheel
[Em]Rock me mama any[C]way you feel
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock m[C]e
Well [G]rock me mama like the [D]wind and the rain
[Em]Rock me mama like a [C]south-bound train
[G]Hey,[D] mama [C]rock m[C]e    [G]
