_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] It [A] is exploding, [D] _ violence flaring, [G] _ [A] bullets loading, [D] you hold enough to kill, [G] but not [A] for voting.
[D] You don't believe in war, [G] but what's that [A] gun you're toting?
[D] And even the Jordan River [G] has [A] bodies floating, but you [D] tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] _ _ again, [Bm] my friend, _
you [G] don't believe [A] we're on the eve [D] of destruction. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] Don't you understand [G] what I'm [A] trying to say?
[D] Can't you feel the fears [G] I'm [A] feeling today?
[D] If the button is pushed, [G] there's no running [A]
away, [D] there'll be no one to save, [G] we're the
world [A] in a grave.
[D] Take a look around you, boy, [G] it's bound to [A] scare you, boy, [D] and you tell [Em] me over and over
[D] _ _ again, my [Bm] friend, you [G] don't believe [A] we're on the eve [D] of destruction. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah, my blood's so [G] mad, feels like [A]
coagulating, [D] I'm sitting here [G] just _ [A]
contemplating.
[D] I can't twist the truth, [G] it knows no [A]
regulation, [D] handful of senators [G] don't pass [A]
legislation,
[D] and marches alone [G] can't bring [A]
integration, when human respect [G] is _ [A]
disintegrating.
[D] This whole crazy world [G] is just too [A]
frustrating, [D] and tell [G] me over [E] _
[D] _ _ and over again, my [Bm] _ _
friend,
[G] you don't believe [A] we're on the eve [D] of destruction.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
[G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Think of all the hate [G] there is in [A] red China, [D] then take a look around [G] to Selma, [A] Alabama.
[D] You may leave here for four [A] days in space, [D] but when you return, [G] it's the same [A] old place.
[D] The pounding of the drums, the [G] frightened [A] disgrace, [D] you can bury your dead, [G] but don't
leave [A] a trace.
[D] Hate's your next door neighbor, [G] but don't [A] forget to say [D] grace, and tell [G] me over [A] and
over _ _ _ _ [Bm] again, my friend, [G] you don't believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] destruction.
_ _ _ No, no, [G] you don't believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] destruction.
