There have been meny covers of this song, but, in my opinion, no one sings or plays it better with as much passion as Against Me!'s Tom Gabel. This song is a regular of his and this tab is based off of his solo album tour. The youtube video I refer to is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HVWVtx2UsE If you have any problems with the tab along the lines of strumming and when to ring out the chords, please refer to the video I provided and try playing along with it. It's fairly simple though, so there shouldn't be that much trouble. And, when youv'e made your final judgement on the tab, please rate and comment it to tell me what you think or if there's anyway I can improve upon it. Standard Tuning Capo 2nd fret Chords: lowEADGBe G:320003 or 3X0003 (They both sound fine, but I prefer the second.) C:XX0232 Am:022000 F:X32010 Cmaj7:2X0003 Inro: C C Am F C C F Verse 1:

^CHeaded down south to the ^Cland of the pines And I'm ^Amthumbin' my way into ^FNorth Caroline ^CStarin' up the road And pray to ^CGod I see ^Fheadlights

Verse 2:

^CRunnin' from the cold ^Cup in New England I was ^Amborn to be a fiddler in an ^Fold-time stringband My ^Cbaby plays the guitar ^CI pick a banjo ^Fnow

Chorus:

And that should be that for Tom Gabel's rendition of Wagon Wheel. As I've stated before, please rate and comment my tab when you have made your final judgement.
