Darius Rucker  "Wagon Wheel"

Capo 2
(intro)
G D Em C, G D Em C, G D C,


(verse)
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


(instrumental)
G D Em C, G D C,


(verse)
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
I 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
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


(instrumental)
G D Em C, G D C,


(verse)
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
And 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 died in Raleigh at least I will die free


(chorus)
(no chord)
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey, momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train
           C
Hey, momma rock me
  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    G D Em C, G D C(fade)
