Day Of The Locusts chords by Bob Dylan

Chords with lyrics

G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Oh, the benches were stained with tears and perspiration
  G+G             C majorC  C/BC/B   A minorAm
The birdies were flying from tree to tree
     G+G             C majorC C/BC/B  A minorAm
There was little to say, there was no conversation
   G+G              C majorC  C/BC/B  A minorAm
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree

    G+G       C majorC  C/BC/B  A minorAm
And the locusts sang off in the distance
     G+G          C majorC  C/BC/B   A minorAm
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
    G+G       C majorC  C/BC/B  A minorAm
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance
      G+G             C majorC  C/BC/B A minorAm G+G
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me

 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
I glanced into the chamber where the judges were talking
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Darkness was everywhere, it smelled like a tomb
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
I was ready to leave, I was already walking
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
But the next time I looked there was light in the room

 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
And the locusts sang, yeah, it give me a chill

G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B A minorAm
Oh, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Oh, the locusts sang their high whining trill
G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me

 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Outside of the gates the trucks were unloading
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B A minorAm
The weather was hot, a-nearly 90 degrees
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
The man standing next to me, his head was exploding
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Well, I was praying the pieces wouldn’t fall on me

 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B A minorAm
Yeah, the locusts sang off in the distance
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B A minorAm
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
And the locusts sang and they were singing for me

 G+G         C majorC   C/BC/B  A minorAm
I put down my robe, picked up my diploma
 G+G              C majorC  C/BC/B  A minorAm
Took hold of my sweetheart and away we did drive
 G+G             C majorC   C/BC/B   A minorAm
Straight for the hills, the black hills of Dakota
  G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Sure was glad to get out of there alive

 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
And the locusts sang, well, it give me a chill
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B A minorAm
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
And the locusts sang with a high whining trill
 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
Yeah, the locusts sang and they was singing for me

 G+G             C majorC     C/BC/B A minorAm
