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

Chorus:

  G+G          D MajorD      E minorEm       C majorC
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
G+G  D MajorD   C majorC
Hey… mama rock me
G+G            D MajorD         E minorEm          C majorC
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train

Hey… mama rock me

G+G           D MajorD         E minorEm
Runnin' from the cold up in New England, I was born to be a fiddler in an
 C majorC
old-time string band
G+G             D MajorD        C majorC
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now
G+G                   D MajorD           E minorEm
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin’ me now, Lost my money playin’
      C majorC
poker so I had to up and leave
G+G                D MajorD          C majorC
But I ain’t a turnin’ back to livin’ that old life no more

Chorus:

  G+G          D MajorD      E minorEm       C majorC
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out of Philly, had
  C majorC
a nice long toke
   G+G                D MajorD        C majorC
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee

Back to normal strumming pattern:
G+G             D MajorD             E minorEm
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun, I hear my baby callin’ my name,
    C majorC
and I know that she's the only one
G+G               D MajorD        C majorC
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free

Chorus:

  G+G          D MajorD      E minorEm       C majorC
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
