C C                        G G
Headed down south to the land of the pines
Am Am F F
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
C C
Starin' up the road
G G F F
And pray to God I see headlights

C C G G
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Am Am F F
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
C C
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
G G F F
I can see my baby tonight

C C G G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am Am F F
Rock me mama anyway you feel
C C G G F F
Hey, mama rock me
C C G G
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Am Am F F
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
C C G G F F
Hey, mama rock me

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

C C G G
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
Am Am F F
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
C C
My baby plays the guitar
G G F F
I pick a banjo now

C C G G
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Am Am F F
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
C C
But I ain't a turnin' back
G G F F
To livin' that old life no more

C C G G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am Am F F
Rock me mama anyway you feel
C C G G F F
Hey, mama rock me
C C G G
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Am Am F F
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
C C G G F F
Hey, mama rock me

G G, D D, Em Em, C C
G G, D D, C C 2x

C C G G
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
Am Am
I caught a trucker out of Philly
F F
Had a nice long toke
C C G G
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
F F
To Johnson City, Tennessee

C C G G
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
Am Am
I hear my baby callin' my name
F F
And I know that she's the only one
C C
And if I die in Raleigh
G G F F
At least I will die free


C C G G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am Am F F
Rock me mama anyway you feel
C C G G F F
Hey, mama rock me
C C G G
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Am Am F F
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
C C G G F F C C
Hey, mama rock me

This is the correct relative chord progression, but I rejected it because it is not in the original key as recoded in Old Crow Medicine Show's "O.C.M.S." album.
