[D#] [A#] [G#]
VERSE 1:
[D#] Heading down south to the
[A#] land of the pines
[Cm] I'm thumbing my way into
[G#] North Caroline
[D#] Staring up the road and
[A#] pray to God I see
[G#] headlights
[D#] I made it down the coast in
[A#] seventeen hours
[Cm] Picking me a bouquet of
[G#] dogwood flowers
And I'm a-
[D#]-hopin' for Raleigh, I can
[A#] see my baby to-
[G#]-night
CHORUS:
So
[D#] rock me momma like a
[A#] wagon wheel
[Cm] Rock me momma any
[G#] way you feel
[D#] Hey,
[A#] momma
[G#] rock me
[D#] Rock me momma like the
[A#] wind and the rain
[Cm] Rock me momma like a
[G#] south bound train
[D#] Hey,
[A#] momma
[G#] rock me

VERSE 2:
[D#] Running from the cold
[A#] up in New England
I was
[Cm] born to be a fiddler in an
[G#] old time string band
My
[D#] baby plays a guitar,
[A#] I pick a banjo
[G#] now
Oh,
[D#] north country winters keep a-
[A#] getting me down
I lost my
[Cm] money playing poker so I
[G#] had to leave town
But I
[D#] ain't turning back to
[A#] living that old life
[G#] no more
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK: [over CHORUS]
VERSE 3:
[D#] Walkin' to the south
[A#] out of Roanoke
I caught a
[Cm] trucker out of Philly had a
[G#] nice long toke
But
[D#] he's a heading west from the
[A#] Cumberland gap, to
[G#] Johnson City, Tennessee
And I
[D#] gotta get a move on
[A#] before the sun
I hear my
[Cm] baby calling my name and I
[G#] know that she's the only one
And
[D#] if I died in Raleigh at
[A#] least I will die
[G#] free
REPEAT CHORUS: (one strum each chord)
