G D Em C 
G D C 

Verse 1: 

G                        D 
Headed down south to the land of the pines 
        Em                   C 
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline 
G 
Starin' up the road 
            D         C 
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 
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh 
      D             C 
I can see my baby tonight 

 

   G                   D 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Em              C 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
G   Gmaj7     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   Gmaj7     C 
Hey____, mama rock me 

Verse 2: 

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

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



   G                   D 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Em              C 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
G   Gmaj7     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   Gmaj7     C 
Hey____, mama rock me 

Verse 3: 

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

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



   G                   D 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Em              C 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
G   Gmaj7     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   Gmaj7     C            
Hey____, mama rock me 
G   Gmaj7     C           G 
Hey____, mama rock me
