Wagon Wheel

Heading

down south to the

land

of the pines

I'm

thumbing my way into N

orth

Caroline

St

aring

up the road and p

ray

to God I see h

eadlights

I

made it down the coast in s

eventeen

hours

Picking

me a bouquet of d

ogwood

flowers

And I'm a-

hopin'

for Raleigh, I can s

ee

my baby ton

ight

So r

ock

me momma like a w

agon

wheel

Rock

me momma any

way

you feel

Hey

,

momma

rock

me

Rock

me momma like the

wind

and the rain

Rock

me momma like a

south

bound train

Hey

,

momma

rock

me

(Instrumental - 8 bars)

Running from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now

Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down

I lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town

But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more

(Chorus)

(Instrumental - 16 bars)

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke

But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap

To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on before the sun

I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one

And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free

(Chorus - one strum each chord below)

(Chorus - normal strumming)
