Eve of Destruction (Barry McGuire)

		Verse: 
    D             G       A7      
The Eastern world it is explodin', 
 D                   G              A  
violence flarin' and bullets loadin',  
       D                       G       A  
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin',  
    D                           G                           A  
You don't believe in war, but's what's that gun you're totin'? 
     D                        G      A  
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin' 
        D        G        A         D              Bm  
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,  
 
Chorus: 
    G                    A                D        G  A  
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction. 
  
Verse: 
 D                             G        A    
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say? 
 D                                G         A   
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today? 
       D                          G         A  
If the button is pushed there's no running away,  
            D                       G          A  
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave.  
       D                         G                  A  
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy,  
        D        G        A         D              Bm  
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend, 
  
Chorus: 
 G                    A                D           G  A  
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction. 
  
Verse: 
   D                    G         A7      
My blood's so mad feels like coagulatin', 
D                G          A  
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin' 
    D                        G            A       
You can't twist the truth it knows no regulation, 
      D                         G         A  
and a handful of Senators don't pass legislation. 
 D                   G         D       
Marches alone can't bring integration, 
      D                G      D  
when human respect is disintegratin'. 
 D                         G            A  
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'.  
        D        G        A         D              Bm  
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend, 
  
Chorus: 
  G                    A                D           G A  
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction. 
  
Verse: 
 D                           G         A7    
Think of all the hate there is in Red China, 
      D                     G         A  
then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! 
 D                      G            A      
You may leave here for four days in space, 
    D                         G        A  
But when you return, it's the same old place. 
    D                   G            A       
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace, 
       D                         G       A  
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace, 
 D                                 G               A  
Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace. 
        D        G        A         D              Bm  
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,  
 
Chorus: 
 G                    A                D           G  A  
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
