{Listen to song for strummin pattern, its sort of hard to tell over text}

{If you dont want to play violin/fiddle part here is the intro}

{G,D,Em,C --- G,D,C}


G                        D
Headed down south to the land of the pines
     Em                   C
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' to Raleigh
      D             C
I can see my baby tonight

   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

{G,D,Em,C -- G,D,C}
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/old-crow-medicine-show/249016.html ]
{Here is a cool thing to do other than the usual strumming, just pick it}
{YOUR CHOICE OH CHORDS, PICKING, OR FIDDLE}

(not too fast)

       G            D            Em            C
|----3-3------------0-----------------------------------------|
|--------0--0------2--2--2-------0-----0----1-1-1-1--(0)------|
|--0-------0------3----3-------0---0--------------------------|(REPEAT x2)
|----------------------------3-------3------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|

  Then play: {G,D,Em,C -- G,D,C}

(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)
My baby plays the guitar
(D)             (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

   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

{G,D,Em,C -- G,D,C} 2x
{AGAIN THIS IS YOUR CHOICE DO THE CHORDS, PICK IT, OR FIDDLE PART}

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


   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


 OUTRO                            G
