The Eve of Destruction chords
The Turtles 1965 (P.F. Sloan)

D MajorD

D MajorD       G+G    A augmentedA
The Eastern world it is explodin'
D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
    D MajorD            G+G    A augmentedA
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 toting?
  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     A augmentedA
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
D MajorD                 G+G     A augmentedA
Can't you feel the fears that I'm feelin' today
    D MajorD            G+G      A augmentedA
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.

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

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