[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 Singing for me, well, singing for me
