(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 leave town
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 talk
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…

This is the correct way to play this song. Plays along with Darius on the recording as well as the version he does on Live From Daryls House.
