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