**Chords:**
G  C  G  Em  A  D  G

G                C              G
In South Carolina, there ain't no gold
            Em                       A          D
And the sun don’t shine, it’s just a cold wind blowin'
G               C                   G
When I was younger, I could feel the breeze
            Em                  A               D
But now I’m older, and the wind feels like stone

G             C                  G
Oh, hickory wind, I can't forget
          Em                      A                    D
Last time I saw you, you were standing by the gate
G               C             G
I was so lost, but now I’m found
             Em                   A                  D
Now I’m just waiting for the hickory wind to blow around

G                C                G
Time is a river, it flows so slow
               Em                    A                D
And the leaves keep falling, like the memories I know
G               C                   G
I’ll keep on searching, for the place I belong
         Em                 A                   D
But the hickory wind keeps singing my song

G             C                  G
Oh, hickory wind, I can't forget
          Em                      A                    D
Last time I saw you, you were standing by the gate
G               C             G
I was so lost, but now I’m found
             Em                   A                  D
Now I’m just waiting for the hickory wind to blow around
