Intro: G D Em C G D Em C G D C C

G  D  Em  C
Headinʼ down south to the land of the pines,
Iʼm thumbinʼ my way into North Caroline
G  D  C
Starinʼ up the road and pray to God I see headlights
G  D  Em  C
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours,
pickinʼ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
G  D  C
And Iʼm a hopinʼ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

Chorus:
G  D  Em  C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,
any way you feel
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me
G  D  Em  C
Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,
like a south bound train
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me

G D Em C G D C C

G  D  Em  C
Runninʼ from the cold up in New England, 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 gettinʼ me down
Em  C
Lost my money playinʼ poker so I had to leave town
G  D  C
But I ainʼt a-turninʼ back to livinʼ that old life no more

Chorus:
G  D  Em  C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,
any way you feel
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me
G  D  Em  C
Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,
like a south bound train
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me

G D Em C G D C C

G  D  Em  C
Walkinʼ to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out
of Philly had a nice long toke
G  D  C
But heʼs a headinʼ west from the Cumberland gap to Johnson City,
Tennessee
G  D
I gotta get a move on before the sun
Em  C
I hear my baby callinʼ my name and I know that sheʼs the only one
G  D  C
And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free

Chorus: x2
G  D  Em  C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,
any way you feel
G  C
Hey momma, rock me
G  D  Em  C
Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,
like a south bound train
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me

G D Em C G
