Verse 1

G                         D
Heading down south to the land of the pines
    Em                   C
I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline
G                       D                 C
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
  G                         D
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Em                      C
Picking 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
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                      D
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Em                   C
Rock me momma like a south bound train
G     D     C
Hey,  momma rock me

Verse 2

G                     D
Running from the cold up in New England
      Em                         C
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-getting me down
        Em                       C
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
      G                     D                    C
But I ain't turning back to living that 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                      D
Yeah, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Em                   C
Rock me momma like a south bound train
G     D     C
Hey,  momma rock me

[Verse 3] (one strum each chord below)
G                    D
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
           Em                           C
I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
    G                            D
But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap
   C
To Johnson City, Tennessee
  G                   D
I gotta get a move on before the sun
          Em                         C
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
    G                      D            C
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
