Tom Gabel - Wagon Wheel Chords & Tabs

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:

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.

Headed down south to the land of the pines

And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

Starin' up the road

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Runnin' from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
   G
My baby plays the guitar

I pick a banjo now

Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave

To livin' that old life no more

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
