G D C G C G

G D C G

In South Carolina, there're many tall pines,

D C D

I remember the oak tree, that we used to climb

C G C G

But now when I'm lonesome, I always pretend,

C D G C G

that I'm headin' the field of hickory wind

G D C G

I started out younger, had most everything;

D C D

all the riches and pleasures, what else can life bring?

C G C G

But it makes me feel better, each time you begin,

C D G C G

callin' me home, hickory wind

G D C G C G

It's a hard way to find out, that trouble is real;

D C D

in a faraway city, with a faraway feel

C G C G

But it makes me feel better, each time you begin,

C D G C G

callin' me home, hickory wind

C D G C G

Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind
