{c:verse 1}
[C]Headed down south to the [G]land of the pines
And I'm [Am]thumbin' my way into [F]North Caroline
[C]Starin' up the road and [G]pray to God I see [F]headlights.
I [C]made it down the coast in [G]seventeen hours
[Am]Pickin' me a bouquet of [F]dogwood flowers
And I'm a [C]hopin' for Raleigh I can [G]see my baby to-[F]night.
{soc}
So [C]rock me, Mama, like a [G]wagon wheel
[Am]Rock me, Mama, any [F]way you feel
[C]Hey [G]hey, Mama, [F]rock me.
[C]Rock me, Mama, like the [G]wind and the rain
[Am]Rock me, Mama, like a [F]south-bound train
[C]Hey [G]hey, Mama, [F]rock me.

{c:verse 2}
[C]Runnin' from the cold [G]up in New England
I was [Am]born to be a fiddler in an [F]old-time stringband
My [C]baby plays the guitar [G]I pick a banjo [F]now.
Oh, the [C]North country winters keep a [G]gettin' me now
Lost my [Am]money playin' poker so I [F]had to up and leave
But I [C]ain't a turnin' back to [G]livin' that old life no [F]more.

So [C]rock me, Mama, like a [G]wagon wheel

[C]↓Walkin' to the south [G]↓out of Roanoke
I caught a [Am]↓trucker out of Philly, had a [F]↓nice long toke
But [C]↓he's a headed west from the [G]↓Cumberland Gap
To [F]↓Johnson City, [F]↓Tennessee.
And I [C]gotta get a move on [G]fit for the sun
I hear my [Am]baby callin' my name, and I [F]know that she's the only one
And [C]if I die in Raleigh at [G]least I will die [F]free.
