| In South Caro | lina | there are many tall | pines |
| A | E | D | E | |
| I remember the | oak tree | that we used to | climb |
| E | D | E | A | |
| But now when I'm | lonesome, | I always pr | etend |
| A | D | E | A | |
| That I'm getting the | feel | of hickory | wind |
| I started out younger at most everything |
| All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring? |
| But it makes me feel better each time it begins |
| Callin' me home, hickory wind |
| It's hard to find out that trouble is real |
| In a far away city, with a far away feel |
| But it makes me feel better each time it begins |
| Callin' me home, hickory wind |
| A | D | E | D | A | |
| Keeps callin' me | home, | hickory | wind |
