In South Carolina there are many tall pines
G D | D | C | C D | D | D7
I remember the oak tree that we used to climb
D7 C |C| D | D G |C|G
But now when I'm lonesome, I always pretend
G C | C | D |D G |C|G|
That I'm getting the feel of hickory wind
G D |D| C | C G | C | G
I started out younger had most every-thing
G D | D | C | C D | D | D7
All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring?
D7 C | C | D | D G | C | G
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
G C | C | D | D G C G
Calling me home, hickory wind

It's a hard way to find out that trouble is real
G D | D | C | C D | D | D7 |
In a far away city, with a far away feel
D7 C |C| D D G | C | G
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
G C | C | D | D G | C | G
Calling me home, hickory wind
[Coda]
G C | C | D | D G | C | G
Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind
