Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show
Transcribed by DWdrummer67. Enjoy!
(Capo 2nd fret)
Intro: G D Em C G D C(2X)
G D Em C
Headed 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 Em
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours, Pickin’ me a bouquet of
C
dogwood flowers
G D C
And I'm a hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
Ch:
G D Em C
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey… mama rock me
G D Em C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey… mama rock me
Break: G D Em C G D C
G D Em
Runnin' from the cold up in New England, I was born to be a fiddler in an
C
old-time string band
G D C
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now
G D Em
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin’ me now, Lost my money playin’
C
poker so I had to up and leave
G D C
But I ain’t a turnin’ back to livin’ that old life no more
Ch:
G D Em C
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey… mama rock me
G D Em C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey… mama rock me
Break: G D Em C G D C
Strum each note once:
G D Em
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out of Philly, had
C
a nice long toke
G D C
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee
Back to normal strumming pattern:
G D Em
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun, I hear my baby callin’ my name,
C
and I know that she's the only one
G D C
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free
Ch:
G D Em C
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey… mama rock me
G D Em C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C C… D… G…
Hey… mama rock me…
Great Job!!! intro is G D Em C G D C
Thanks for the kudos, and correction...
Yeah... it's funny how you play a song for so long... even if it's incorrect, it just becomes right to you. That's what happened here.
Much appreciated!!!
