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

D

D       G    A
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 what's that gun you're toting?
  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,
    G          A        D    G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

D               G     A
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
D                 G     A
Can't you feel the fears 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,
    G          A        D    G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

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

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
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
Hate your next door neighbor
  G        A
But don't forget to say grace

D    G    A    D       Bm
And 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.
    G          A        D     G A  D
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
