Song: Wagon Wheel
Artist: Old Crow Medicine Show
Album: O.C.M.S.
This is a great song by a great young band with that old time stringband sound.
The song is real simple to play.
It just has two patterns that alternate all throughout the song.
CAPO 2
Intro:
G, D, Em, C
G, D, C (2x)
Verse 1
G D
Headed down south to the land of the pines
Em C
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
G
Starin' up the road
D C
And pray to God I see headlights
G D
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Em C
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
G
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
D C
I can see my baby tonight
Chorus
G D
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Em C
Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey mama rock me
G D
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Em C
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey mama rock me
Verse 2
G D
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
Em C
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
G D
My baby plays the guitar
C
I pick a banjo now
G D
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Em C
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
G
But I ain't a turnin' back
D C
To livin' that old life no more
Chorus
G D
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Em C
Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey mama rock me
G D
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Em C
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey mama rock me
Verse 3 (just strum once for the first part of the verse)
G D
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
Em
I caught a trucker out of Philly
C
Had a nice long toke
G D
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
C
To Johnson City, Tennessee
G D
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
Em
I hear my baby callin' my name
C
And I know that she's the only one
G
And if I die in Raleigh
D C
At least I will die free
Chorus
G D
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Em C
Rock me mama anyway you feel
G D C
Hey mama rock me
G D
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Em C
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey mama rock me

| christopher - 2006-02-09 | | i dont know the tabs , but i do know it is in key of A |
| rade - 2006-03-08 | | Key A (capo on second fret and g). Forward roll sounds good. |
| ajmiller7 - 2008-04-05 | | What are the "Two Strumming Patterns" ???? |
| wahoozer24024 - 2008-12-31 | heres a buddy of mine giving instructions on how he plays the banjo parts.. he doesnt use a capo so if you want to play it in the right key, which is A, then just put a capo on the 2nd fret..
