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

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