A                         E
Heading down south to the land of the pines
    F#m                  D
I’m thumbing my way into North Caroline
A                       E                 D
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
  A                         E
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
F#m                     D
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
            A                        E          D
And I’m a-hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight


[CHORUS]
A                       E
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
F#m               D
Rock me momma any way you feel
A E       D
Hey momma rock me
A                      E
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
F#m                   D
Rock me momma like a south bound train
A E       D
Hey momma rock me

[SAME CHORDS]


A                      E
Running from the cold up in New England
      F#m                        D
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
    A              E                    D
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
    A                            E
Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
         F#m                      D
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
       A                    E                     D
But I ain’t turning back to living that old life no more


[CHORUS]
A                       E
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
F#m               D
Rock me momma any way you feel
A E       D
Hey momma rock me
A                      E
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
F#m                   D
Rock me momma like a south bound train
A E       D
Hey momma rock me

A                     E
Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke
           F#m                         D
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
    A                            E
But he’s a heading west from the Cumberland gap
    D
To Johnson City, Tennessee
       A                  E
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
           F#m                        D
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she’s the only one
     A                   E               D
And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free


[CHORUS x2]
A                       E
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
F#m               D
Rock me momma any way you feel
A E       D
Hey momma rock me
A                      E
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
F#m                   D
Rock me momma like a south bound train
A E       D
Hey momma rock me
