There have been meny covers of this song, but, in my opinion, no one sings or plays it better with as much passion as Against Me!'s Tom Gabel. This song is a regular of his and this tab is based off of his solo album tour. The youtube video I refer to is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HVWVtx2UsE If you have any problems with the tab along the lines of strumming and when to ring out the chords, please refer to the video I provided and try playing along with it. It's fairly simple though, so there shouldn't be that much trouble. And, when youv'e made your final judgement on the tab, please rate and comment it to tell me what you think or if there's anyway I can improve upon it. Standard Tuning Capo 2nd fret Chords: lowEADGBe G:320003 or 3X0003 (They both sound fine, but I prefer the second.) D:XX0232 Em:022000 C:X32010 Gmaj7:2X0003 Inro: G D Em C G D C 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 Gmaj7 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 Gmaj7 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 My baby plays the guitar D C I pick a banjo now [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/tom-gabel/300472.html ] 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 Gmaj7 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 Gmaj7 C Hey____, mama rock me Verse 3: 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 Gmaj7 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 Gmaj7 C Hey____, mama rock me G Gmaj7 C G Hey____, mama rock me And that should be that for Tom Gabel's rendition of Wagon Wheel.
