(I personally like to use a capo on the second fret, that makes the chords A = G,
E = D, F#m = Em, D = C)
Intro:
A-E-F#m-D-A-E-D x2
AHeaded down south to the Eland of the pines
I'm F#mthumbin' my way into North CDaroline
AStarin' up the road
EPray to God I seeD headlights
I Amade it down the coast in Eseventeen hours
F#mPickin' you a bouquet of Ddogwood flowers
And I'm a Ahopin' for Raleigh
I can Esee my baby tDonight
So Arock me mama like a Ewagon wheel
F#mRock me mama anyDway you feel
AHeEy mama Drock me
ARock me mama like the Ewind and the rain
F#mRock me mama like a Dsouth-bound train
AHeEy mama Drock me
A-E-F#m-D-A-E-D
ARunnin' from the cold Eup in New England
I was F#mborn to be a fiddler in an Dold-time stringband
My Ababy plays the guitar E
I pick the Dbanjo now
Oh, the ANorth country winters keep a Egettin' me down
Lost my F#mmoney playin' poker so I Dhad to up and leave
But I Aain't a turnin' back
To Elivin' that old life no Dmore
So Arock me mama like a Ewagon wheel
F#mRock me mama anyDway you feel
AHeEy mama Drock me
ARock me mama like the Ewind and the rain
F#mRock me mama like a Dsouth-bound train
AHeEy mama Drock me
Solo:
A-E-F#m-D-A-E-D x4
(One strum per chord)
AWalkin' down south Eout of Roanoke
I caught a F#mtrucker out of Philly
Had a Dnice long toke
But Ahe's a headed west from the ECumberland Gap
To DJohnson City, Tennessee
(pick up the strum)
And I Agotta get a move on Ebefore the sun
I hear my F#mbaby callin' my name
And I Dknow that she's the only one
And Aif I die in Raleigh
At Eleast I will die Dfree
So Arock me mama like a Ewagon wheel
F#mRock me mama anyDway you feel
AHeEy mama Drock me
ARock me mama like the Ewind and the rain
F#mRock me mama like a Dsouth-bound train
AHeEy mama Drock me x2
