Wagon Wheel – Darius Rucker

Capo #2 
[G D Em C
]  
[G] 2x [D C
]  
[G] Headed down south to the [D] land of the pines 
And I'm [Em] thumbin' my way [C] into North Caroline 
[G] Starin' up the road 
And pray to [D] God I see [C] headlights 
I [G] made it down the coast in [D] seventeen hours 
[Em] Pickin' me a bouquet [C] of dogwood flowers 
And I'm a [G] hopin' for Raleigh 
I can [D] see my baby [C] tonight 
So [G] rock me mama like a [D] wagon wheel 
[Em] Rock me [C] mama anyway you feel 
[G] Hey, [D] mama [C] rock me 
[G] Rock me mama like the [D] wind and the rain 
[Em] Rock me mama like [C] a south-bound train 
[G] Hey, [D] mama [C] rock me 
[G D Em C
]  
[G] Ru [D] ni [C] ' from the cold up in New England 
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband 
My baby plays the guitar 
I pick a banjo now 
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now 
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave 
But I ain't a turnin' back 
To livin' that old life no more 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey, mama rock me 
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain 
Rock me mama like a south-bound train 
Hey, mama rock me 
[G D Em C

[G] 2x [D C
]  
[G] Walkin' to the south [D] out of Roanoke 
I caught a [Em] trucker out of Philly 
Had a [C] nice long toke 
But [G] he's a headed west from the [D] Cumberland Gap 
To [C] Johnson City, Tennessee 
And I [G] gotta get a move on [D] fit for the sun 
I hear my [Em] baby callin' my name 
And I [C] know that she's the only one 
And [G] if I die in Raleigh 
At [D] least I will die [C] free 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey, mama rock me 
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain 
Rock me mama like a south-bound train 
Hey, mama rock me
