Fellow Baby Boomers and music fans of that era will instantly recall DYLAN's "Day of The Locusts" from the 1970 New Morning album.


It is a simple song to learn as just Capo the 1st Fret and it is super simple easy chords which remain in the same exact order repeating throughout the song.

These two links below will give you the backstory on the song and how it came to be when the Cicadas were singin' for Zimmy and his then wife Sara and his outspoken pal named David that was once in a group on the same Columbia label as Dylan but at that time (1970) was in the biggest group on the Atlantic label.
