Wagon Wheel

Intro: G D Em C G D C
G                 D
Headed down south to the land of the
 pines
   Em                    C
And I'm thumbin' my way into North 
Caroline
G                   D            
Starin' up the road and pray to 
           C
God I see headlights
G                         
I made it down the coast in 
  D
seventeen hours
Em                       C
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood 
flowers
G                           D    
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh So I
                  C
 can see my baby tonight

[Chorus]

G                    D
Rock me mama like the wind and the 
rain
Em                    C
Rock me mama like a south-bound 
train
G        C

G                             
Running from the cold up in New 
       D
England.
Em                                
I was born to be a fiddler in an 
   C
old time string band.
G                             
My baby plays a guitar,I pick a 
        D                     C
banjo now
G                              
Oh north country winters started 
        D
getting me down,
Em                                
I lost my money playing poker so I
              C
 had to up and leave.
G                        D       
But I ain't turning back to 
               C
living that old life no more.

[Chorus]

G                                 
I was Walkin' though the south out
             D
 of Roanoke,
Em                                
I caught a trucker out of Philly 
             C
had a nice long toke.
G                            
But he’s heading west from the 
         D
Cumberland gap,
  C
Johnson City, Tennessee.
G                                 
Now I gotta get a move on pray the
       D
 sun,
Em                                
I hear my baby calling my name 
             C
she’s says I’m the only one.
G                              D 
And If I die in Raleigh at least 
                    C
I will die free.
