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                       C
Starin' up the road 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                           D                      C
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh So I can see my baby tonight

[Chorus]
G                D
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Em              C
Rock me mama anyway you feel
G       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        C
Hey mama rock me

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 started getting me down,
Em                                              C
I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave.
G                        D                      C
But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more.

[Chorus]

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