[Intro] A E F#m D A E F#m D A E D
[Verse 1] A E Heading down south to the land of the pines F#m D I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline A E D Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights A E I made it down the coast in seventeen hours F#m D Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers A E D And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
[Chorus] A E So rock me momma like a wagon wheel F#m D Rock me momma any way you feel A E D Hey, momma rock me A E Rock me momma like the wind and the rain F#m D Rock me momma like a south bound train A E D Hey, momma rock me
[Instrumental] A E F#m D A E D
[Verse 2] A E Running from the cold up in New England F#m D I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band A E D My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now A E Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down F#m D Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town A E D But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more
[Chorus] A E So rock me momma like a wagon wheel F#m D Rock me momma any way you feel A E D Hey, momma rock me A E Yeah, rock me momma like the wind and the rain F#m D Rock me momma like a south bound train A E D Hey, momma rock me
[Instrumental] A E F#m D A E D A E F#m D A E D [Verse 3] (one strum each chord below) A E Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke F#m D I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke A E But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap D To Johnson City, Tennessee A E I gotta get a move on before the sun F#m D I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one A E D And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free [Chorus] (soft drums, banjo, and guitar) A E So rock me momma like a wagon wheel F#m D Rock me momma any way you feel A E D Hey, momma rock me A E Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain F#m D Rock me momma like a south bound train A E D Hey, hey momma rock me (normal strumming) A E Oh, so rock me momma like a wagon wheel F#m D Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I wanna feel (Rock me momma any way you feel) A E D Hey, hey momma rock me, momma rock me, momma rock me A E Rock me momma like the wind and the rain F#m D Rock me momma like a south bound train A E D Hey, yeah yeah, momma rock me, you can rock me, rock me
