[Verse]

 G                       
Heading down south to the 
 D
land of the pines
Em                      
I'm thumbing my way into 
 C
North Caroline
  G                      D      
Staring up the road and pray to 
           C
God I see headlights
G                
I made it down the 
          D
coast in seventeen hours
Em                       C
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
          G                  
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, 
       D             C
I can see my baby tonight
 
 
[Chorus]

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

[Verse]

 G                    D
Running from the cold up in 

New England
      Em                       
I was born to be a fiddler in an 
C
old time string band
   G                    
My baby plays a guitar, 
D              C
I pick a banjo now
     G                    
Oh, north country winters 
        D
keep a-getting me down   
           Em                   
I lost my money playing poker so
    C
 I had to leave town
      G                      D         
But I ain't turning back to living that 
         C
old life no more
 
 
[Chorus]

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

[Verse]

 G                    D
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
            Em            
I caught a trucker out of 
              C
Philly had a nice long toke
     G                          
But he's a heading west from the 
 D
Cumberland gap
    C
To Johnson City, Tennessee
       G                   D
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
           Em                    
I hear my baby calling my name and   
   C
I know that she's the only one
    G                        D   
And if I died in Raleigh at least 
            C
I will die free
