F          C   Bb                   F
In South Carolina there are many  tall pines
               C        Bb             C
I remember the oak tree that we use to climb
                     Bb     C             F
But it makes me feel better each time  it begins
           Bb   C       F
Calling me home Hickory Wind

F             C       Bb      F
I started out younger at most everything
F                  C         Bb                    C
All the riches and pleasures  what else could life bring
                 Bb       C           F
But now that I'm lonesome I always pretend
                     Bb   C          F
That I'm getting the feel of Hickory Wind

F                  C        Bb              F
It's a hard way to find out that trouble is real
              C    Bb               C
In a far away city with a far away  feel
                     Bb     C             F
But it makes me feel better each time  it begins
           Bb   C       F
Calling me home Hickory Wind
