Day Of The Locusts chords by Bob Dylan

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

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

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

 G             C     C/B  Am
And the locusts sang, yeah, it give me a chill

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

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

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

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

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

 G             C     C/B Am
