Wagon Wheel Lyrics And Chords By Nathan Carter

Wagon Wheel Lyrics And Guitar Chords By Nathan Carter

The 5 string banjo chords for the key of G Major are included plus the standard tuning guitar fingerstyle tab and the bass, plus a version of the tab in Dadgad ''Irish'' tuning.. Wagon wheel tenor guitar / mandola tab in CGDA also. The original version of this song was written and recorded by Bob Dylan. Bob put a ''Country'' beat to the song which is very unusual for him as he's a folk singer primarily. He called it ''Rock Me Mamma''. That was 1972 and years later a group called Old Crow Medicine Show used part of the song. It's become known nowadays as simply ''Wagon Wheel''. In 2013 Irish country singer Nathan Carter got hold of the song and recorded it. I don't think Nathan realized how big of a hit it would become. But it has, and since Nathan recorded it you can't go out for a night in Ireland without hearing this song being covered by bands in every pub in Ireland. I have given a couple of different arrangements of the chords. Nathan sings it in the key of A with a key change near the end. Wagon Wheel Sheet Music Notes For Tin Whistle .
