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   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

Chorus:

   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

Chorus:

   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
