Eve Of Destruction
Barry McGuire
Key : D
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
D

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    D            G        A
The eastern world it is explodin'
D                 G           A
 Violence flarin', 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 what's that gun you're totin'
    D                        G       A
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       D         G        A        D
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Bm        G                   A                D       G A
  Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D                             G          A
Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
    D                           G              A
And can't you feel the fears I'm feeling 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

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       D         G        A        D            Bm
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
        G                   A                D
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

[Verse 3]
---------------------
G A D         D                     G         A
     Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin'
   D                  G      A
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin'
 D                          G              A
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
D                         G         A
Handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
    D                   G          A
And marches alone can't bring integration
     D                G      A
When human respect is disintegratin'
     D                    G            A
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
       D         G        A        D
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Bm        G                   A                D       G A D
  Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

[Verse 4]
---------------------
D                           G            A
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
     D                     G         A
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
    D                       G            A
Ah, 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 poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
        D                   G                  A
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
          D                      G               A
Hate your nextdoorneighbour, but don't forget to say grace

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
   D        G         A        D                 Bm
And tell me over and over and over and over again  my friend
    G                   A                D
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

[Outro]
---------------------
          G                   A                D       G D
No no you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
