[B]
[F#] [G]
[F#m] [G]
[D] The Eastern world, [G] it [A] is exploding, [D] violence flaring, [G]
[A] bullets loading.
[G] You're old [D] 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 [D] you tell me [G] [A] over and over [D] and over 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 [G] pushed, there's no running [A] away.
[Em] [D] There'll be no one to save, [G] we're the world in [A] 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 over [D] again, [Bm] my friend.
[G] Ah, you don't believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] 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] A handful of senators [G] don't pass [A] legislation.
[D] And marches alone [G] can't [A] bring integration.
[D] When human respect [G] is [A] disintegrating.
[D] This whole crazy world [G] is just [A] too frustrating.
[D] And you tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] 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 [A] is 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.
[D] You can bury your dead, [G] but don't leave [A] a trace.
[D] Ain't your next door neighbor, [G] but don't [A] forget the [D] secrets.
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.
No, no, [G] you don't believe [A] we're on the eve [D] of destruction.
