Old Crow Medicine Show / Darius Rucker – Wagon Wheel

!!! Capo: 2^nd fret !!!

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 & 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

I’m hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

G,    D,    Em, C  /

G,    D,    Em, C  /                                  G,    D,    C,    C

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, Hey momma rock me

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

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke;

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke, but

he’s a-heading west from the Cumberland gap, To Johnson City,   Tennessee

I gotta get a move on before the sun,

I hear my baby calling my name & I know that she’s the only one,

And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free (chorus) x 2
