Capo on 2
 
Intro: G | D | Em | C | G | D | Em | C | G | D | C | C

G  D  Em  C 
Headin' down south to the land of the pines, 
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline 
G  D  C
Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights 
G  D  En  C
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours, 
pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers 
G  D  C
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
 
Chorus:
G  D  Em  C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma, 
any way you feel 
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me 
G  D  Em  C
Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma, 
like a south bound train 
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me 
 
G | D | Em | C | G | D | C | C 

G  D  Em  C 
Runnin' from the cold up in New England, I was born 
to be a fiddler in an old time string band 
G  D  C
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now 
G  D
Oh, north country winters keep a gettin' me down 
Em  C
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to leave town 
G  D  C
But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no more 

Chorus:
G  D  Em  C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma, 
any way you feel 
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me 
G  D  Em  C
Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma, 
like a south bound train 
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me 
 
G | D | Em | C | G | D | C | C 

G  D  Em  C 
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out 
of Philly had a nice long toke 
G  D  C
But he's a headin' west from the Cumberland gap to Johnson City, 
Tennessee 
G  D
I gotta get a move on before the sun 
Em  C
I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one
G  D  C 
And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free 
 
Chorus: x2
G  D  Em  C
So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma, 
any way you feel 
G  C
Hey momma, rock me 
G  D  Em  C
Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma, 
like a south bound train 
G  D  C
Hey momma, rock me
