Verse 1:
-------
                                        - Gmajsus - 
   In South Carolina     there's many tall pines

                                          
  I remember the oak tree    that we used to climb

                                            - Gmajsus - 
  But now when I'm lonesome   I'd always pretend

                                          - Gmajsus - 
  That I'm getting the feeling   of Hickory wind

Verse 2:
-------
                                        - Gmajsus - 
  I'd started out younger   had most everything

                                               
  All the riches and pleasures   what else can life bring

                                            - Gmajsus - 
  But it makes me feel better   each time it begins

                          - Gmajsus - 
  Calling me home  Hickory Wind


Break:  D - C - G  (backing guitar starts here)


Verse 3:
-------
                                         - Gmajsus - 
  It’s a hard way to find out   trouble is real

                                    
  In a far away city   with a far away feel

                                            - Gmajsus - 
  But it makes me feel better   each time it begins

                           - Gmajsus - 
  Calling me home   Hickory Wind

                                  - Gmajsus - 
  Keeps calling me  home   Hickory Wind
