G                                     C
South Carolina where the Cypress grow

Bm
White pine and hemlock all seem to know

G                                            C
The tidal sweep through your southern marsh

Bm
The squall last night seemed a little harsh

G                                                                    C
Your little island lees give us shelter from the seas

Bm
Oh no, what was that, a no-see-um attack

G               C                  Bm
The sun is sinking awfully fast

Can we make it last?

G                     C            Bm
We can't move on by looking back

Can we make it last?


G                              C
South Carolina really makes a man

Bm
If The South can't do it then no one can

G                                       C
The morning breeze is my favorite part

Bm
Carry South Carolina deep in my heart

G                                              C
We'll make a family in the quiet country

Bm
You and me, in simplicity
