Intro: A E Gbm D A E D (x2) A E Headed down south to the land of the pines Gbm D And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline A Starin' up the road E D And pray to God I see headlights A E I made it down the coast in seventeen hours Gbm D Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers A And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh E D I can see my baby tonight A E So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Gbm D Rock me mama anyway you feel A E D Hey, mama rock me A E Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Gbm D Rock me mama like a south-bound train A E D Hey, mama rock me Interlude: A E Gbm D A E D A E Runnin' from the cold up in New England Gbm D I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband A My baby plays the guitar E D I pick a banjo now A E Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now Gbm D Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave A But I ain't a turnin' back E D To livin' that old life no more A E So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Gbm D Rock me mama anyway you feel A E D Hey, mama rock me A E Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Gbm D Rock me mama like a south-bound train A E D Hey, mama rock me Interlude: A E Gbm D A E D (x2) A E Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke Gbm I caught a trucker out of Philly D Had a nice long toke A E But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap D To Johnson City, Tennessee A E And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun Gbm I hear my baby callin' my name D And I know that she's the only one A And if I die in Raleigh E D At least I will die free A E So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Gbm D Rock me mama anyway you feel A E D Hey, mama rock me A E Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Gbm D Rock me mama like a south-bound train A E D A Hey, mama rock me This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

4 ukulele chords used in "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show: A, D, E and Gbm
I found that strumming C, G, Am, F sounds more the the original song
This is awesome! Thank you so much about the tip for transposing it down 2 half steps, it helped so much!
+3 is legit….
lol the xxx’d out word is “Cumberland” the line is “But he’s headed west from the Cumberland Gap.” also +3 is perfect for my voice and is super easy 🙂
+3 is exceptionally easy, and really great for a female voice. 🙂
I think that G D Em C G D C C for the whole song works and it makes it easier
What is the strumming pattern?
Is there an easier chord instead of an e?
G D Em C G D C C for the whole song is how I learned it…
So… if you were to try finger picking this song – in an attempt to capture the banjo in the song – what strings would you pick in each chord?
Yes, agreed on +3.
