The Eve of Destruction chords
Barry McGuire

D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 4x

  D MajorD       G+G    A7A7
The Eastern world it is explodin'
D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
    D MajorD            G+G    A7A7
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
  D MajorD             G+G           A augmentedA
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
  D MajorD             G+G   A augmentedA
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

    D MajorD    G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD       B minorBm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
    G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

D MajorD               G+G     A7A7
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
D MajorD                G+G     A augmentedA
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today
    D MajorD            G+G      A7A7
If the button is pushed there's no running away
      D MajorD            G+G     A augmentedA
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
    D MajorD             G+G         A augmentedA
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy

    D MajorD    G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD       B minorBm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
    G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

My blood's so mad feels like coagulatin'
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
You can't twist the truth it knows no regulation
And a handful of Senators don't pass legislation
Marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'

    D MajorD    G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD       B minorBm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
    G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for four days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbor
But don't forget to say grace

    D MajorD    G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD       B minorBm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
    G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
    G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
