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

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

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