I think it was written by Bob Dylan, but I don’t know that version. 
 Have fun with it.  It’s 100% correct I think but let me know if you 
think otherwise.


Intro:
A, Em, B, D
A, Em, D   (2x)

Verse

A                                       Em
Headed down south to the land of the pines
               B                                D
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
A
Starin' up the road
       Em                        D
And pray to God I see headlights

A                                       Em	
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
B                                      D
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
                 A
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
         Em                 D
I can see my baby tonight


Chorus:
      A                                Em
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
B                           D
Rock me mama anyway you feel
A      Em     D            
Hey mama rock me
A                                       Em
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
B                                  D
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
A      Em     D
Hey mama rock me


Verse
A                                Em
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
           B                                       D      
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
     A                         Em
My baby plays the guitar
                         D
I pick a banjo now
     
          A                                           Em 
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
               B                                     D 
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
          A     
But I ain't a turnin' back
       B                         D  
To livin' that old life no more

*Chorus*


For this verse you want to just play each chord once dramatically 
until the word Tennessee
A                                Em 
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
                  B                     
I caught a trucker out of Philly
           D
Had a nice long toke
       A                                          Em 
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap 
     D  
To Johnson City, Tennessee

          A                              Em  
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
          B     
I hear my baby callin' my name
          D
And I know that she's the only one
        A
And if I die in Raleigh
     B                      D 
At least I will die free

*Chorus*

	Random stuff from the internet: Wagon Wheel lyrics are based on an original chorus by Bob Dylan, penned as Rock Me Mama in 1972 for the film soundtrack to Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. http://dylanlyrics.50g.com/sg-RockMeMama.htm

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#11 by Justin Neafsey at Jun 15, 2007 at 8:08 PM EST
	This song is not a Bob Dylan cover. He wrote the chorus and then Ketch wrote the verses.

No Picture Robyn Average	#12 by Robyn Paul at Aug 4, 2007 at 4:08 PM EST
	Despite it's topic, this song reminds me of my childhood so much. I used to travel through Tennessee with my grandpa as a kid.
