Here is a version of the song that sounds correct if you don't have a capo.
Here are the chord progressions:
E|--5--7--2--5--|
B|--5--9--2--7--|
G|--6--9--2--7--|
D|--7--9--4--7--|
A|--7--7--4--5--|
E|--5-----2-----|
E|--5--7--5--5--|
B|--5--9--7--7--|
G|--6--9--7--7--|
D|--7--9--7--7--|
A|--7--7--5--5--|
E|--5-----------|
Here's a little extra thing if you don't have a violin around... just kinda follow these
notes and improvise and you should get a pretty decent accompaniment out of it. Sorry
couldn't do better.
E|----------------------9--10--12-------------------------------------------|

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
[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
(G,D,Em,C -- G,D,C)

Then play: (G,D,Em,C -- G,D,C)
[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
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
(G,D,Em,C -- G,D,C) 2x
(AGAIN THIS IS YOUR CHOICE DO THE CHORDS, PICK IT, OR FIDDLE PART)
[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 D C
Hey, mama rock me

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
This is my first tab. It has a folksy/swing feel to it.
Song: Wagon Wheel
Artist: Old Crow Medicine Show
Album: O.C.M.S.
THIS IS NOT A BANJO OR FIDDLE TAB. THIS IS A GUITAR TAB, TRANSLATED FROM BANJO AND FIDDLE.
I tried to find a good tab for this song online, but I wasn't happy with any of
the tabs I found; So I made one.
Special thanks to pwade89 on YouTube for slowing the song down and isolating the
fiddle and banjo parts.
I tabbed this song by ear, so it may not be 100% but it is fairly correct. If you
find a mistake, leave a comment below. Thanks!

p -Pull off
