Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show

Hey guys today I'm going to tab a timeless classic by old crow medicine show, wagon wheel. The song is really easy it is just G D C C all the way through and it is a really good tune when you get it how you want it.



G                                          D
Heading down south to the land of the pines
C
I'm thumbing my way into North Carolina
C
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
G                                     D
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
C
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
C
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

G                                         D
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
C
Rock me momma any way you feel
C
Hey momma rock me
G                                        D
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
C
Rock me momma like a south bound train
C
Hey momma rock me

Repeat Intro G D C C

G                                  D
Running from the cold up in New England
C
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
C
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
G                                              D
Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
C
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
C
But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more

G                                      D
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
C
Rock me momma any way you feel
C
Hey momma rock me
G                                              D
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
C
Rock me momma like a south bound train
C
Hey momma rock me

(The next piece is just played single strums)

G                                  D
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
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
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

G                                  D
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
C
Rock me momma any way you feel
C
Hey momma rock me
G                                              D
Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
C
Rock me momma like a south bound train
C

Hey, hey momma rock me
