Hi everyone! I was just listening to this song and I began to figure out some of the 
chords. I don't think these are quite exact for the entire song, but please bear with me as 
this is my first tab.
GSouth Carolina where the Cypress growC  
BmWhite pine and hemlock all seem to know
GThe tidal sweep through your southern marshC  
BmThe squall last night seemed a little harsh
GYour little island lees give us shelter from the seasC  
BmOh no, what was that, a no-see-um attack
GThe sun is sinkiCng awfully fastBm  
Can we make it last?
GWe can't move on by loCoking backBm  
Can we make it last?
GSouth Carolina really makes a mCan
BmIf The South can't do it then no one can
GThe morning breeze is my favorite partC  
BmCarry South Carolina deep in my heart
GWe'll make a family in the quiet countryC  
BmYou and me, in simplicity
xoxo Sabrina

G C

South Carolina where the Cypress grow

White pine and hemlock all seem to know

G C

The tidal sweep through your southern marsh

The squall last night seemed a little harsh

G C

Your little island lees give us shelter from the seas

Oh no, what was that, a no-see-um attack

G C Bm

The sun is sinking awfully fast

Can we make it last?

G C Bm

We can't move on by looking back

Can we make it last?

G C

South Carolina really makes a man

If The South can't do it then no one can

G C

The morning breeze is my favorite part

Carry South Carolina deep in my heart

G C

We'll make a family in the quiet country

You and me, in simplicity

xoxo Sabrina
