Verse 1

G        D
In South Carolina
C                   G
There are many tall pines
               D
I remember the oak tree
C               D    D7
That we used to climb
                 C
But now when I'm lonesome,
D        G
I always pretend
                     C
That I'm getting the feel
D          G   C G
Of hickory wind

Verse 2

G                D
I've started out younger
C        G
Had most everything
                   D
All the riches and pleasures,
C                  D     D7
What else can life bring?
                     C
But it makes me feel better
D            G
Each time it begins
           C
Callin' me home,
D       G   C G
Hickory wind

Verse 3

G                  D
It's a hard way to find out
C               G
That trouble is real
              D
In a far away city,
C               D   D7
With a far away feel
                     C
But it makes me feel better
D            G
Each time it begins
           C
Callin' me home,
D       G   C G
Hickory wind
                 C
Keeps callin' me home,
D       G   C G
Hickory wind
