C                        G                  
Headed down south to the land of the pines  
        Am                   F               
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline  
C                    
Starin' up the road  
    G                 F           
And pray to God I see headlights  
   
  C                         G                
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours  
Am                      F                
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers  
          C                   
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh  
      G              F      
I can see my baby to-night  
   
   C                   G            
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel  
Am               F             
Rock me mama any way you feel  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me  
C                     G                  
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain  
Am                  F                  
Rock me mama like a south-bound train  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me  
   
   C                   G            
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel  
Am               F             
Rock me mama any way you feel  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me  
   
C                     G                  
Runnin' from the cold up in New England  
      Am                         F                    
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband  
   C                      G              F    
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now  
   
        C                            G               
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now  
        Am                        F                  
Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to leave town  
      C                     
But I ain't a turnin' back  
   G                    F        
To livin' that old life no more  
   
   C                   G            
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel  
Am               F             
Rock me mama any way you feel  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me  
C                     G                  
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain  
Am                  F                  
Rock me mama like a south-bound train  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me  
   
   C                   G            
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel  
Am               F             
Rock me mama any way you feel  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me  
   
C                    G               
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke  
           Am                     
I caught a trucker out of Philly  
      F               
Had a nice long toke  
    C                           G               
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap  
   F                        
To Johnson City, Tennessee  
   
      C                   G                
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun  
          Am                         F                             
I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one  
    C                      G                F     
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free  
   
   C                   G            
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel  
Am               F             
Rock me mama any way you feel  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me  
C                     G                  
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain  
Am                  F                  
Rock me mama like a south-bound train  
C    G    F        
Hey, mama rock me
