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