D Am C G x2
D             Am
My old man he works five hours

     C                    G
when most folk open their eyes

    D                Am
His knees are givin' out

            C                 G
But he says sweats how, he survives

   D                Am
My mama worked at a nursing home

C                     G
She told me what they say

D                 Am
As they died they whispered

       C             G
Not to give one day away

   D               Am
My grandpa was a mason

        C                      G
He laid brick till his hat was hung

   D                   Am
He told me two cicadas sang him songs

     D               G
When he was wild and young

D                    Am
All these years that hurry by

     C               G
Keep taking too damn long

D                  Am
Soon enough you'll hear the sound

              C                   G
Of sound of cicadas singin' their song

        D   Am  C   G   D   Am  C   G
Singin' oooooh, oooooh, oooooh, oooooh

D             Am                   C               G
Often times I think of them like a choir from back home

D                 Am             C            G
Distance has an awful way to make a boy feel alonе

D                         Am
I'll send him letters and stamp thеm twice

   C                   G
To make sure that they send

    D                 Am
You send me sounds of that old place

          C            G
And the cicadas in the wind

       D   Am  C   G   D   Am  C   G
Singin oooooh, oooooh, oooooh, oooooh

D             Am                C                     G
Me and all my buddies ran those hills till they turn black

  D            Am                  C           G
Remembering Randal"s smile and then a baseball cap

D                Am
We lost him with his front-end

C                  G
wrapped around a tree

D              Am              C                 G
Not a day goes by that I don't wish that boy was me

       D   Am  C   G
Singin oooooh, oooooh

       D   Am  C   G
Singin oooooh, oooooh

        D               Am               C           G
Those cicadas singin as we all bring our sorry asses home

    D                               Am
The middle of the spring as the moonlight rings

      C         G
Youll never be alone

Those cicadas singin as we all bring our sorry asses home

In the middle of the spring as the moonlight rings

      C         G
Youll never be alone

       D   Am  C   G   D   Am  C   G
Singin oooooh, oooooh, oooooh, oooooh
