                G      D                     C   G- Gmajsus - G  
   In South Carolina     there's many tall pines

                           C                  D   G- Gmajsus - G

  But it makes me feel better   each time it begins
                 C           D   G- Gmajsus - G  
  Calling me home   Hickory Wind
