If anyone’s up to the task, I’d love to see the fiddle parts of this

(verse)
5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4
Headed down south to the land of the pines

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 4 4
And I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline

5 5 5 5 5
Starin’ up the road

5 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 -4 4
And pray to God I see headlights

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 4 4
Pickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers

4 4 5 5 5 5 5
And I’m a hopin’ for Raleigh

5 5 -4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 4
I can see my baby tonight

(chorus)
4 5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 -4
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
Rock me mama anyway you feel

4 -4 -4 -4 4
Hey mama rock me

5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 5 6
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
Rock me mama like a south-bound train

4 -4 -4 -4 4
Hey mama rock me

Runnin’ from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin’ me now
Lost my money playin’ poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain’t a turnin’ back
To livin’ that old life no more

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he’s a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
I hear my baby callin’ my name
And I know that she’s the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me
