D5   D5  D5   G5       A5
The Eastern world it is explodin'
D5   D5  D5                 G5       A5
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
       D5  D5  D5      G5       A5
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
    D5    D5  D5      G5                      A5
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
    D5    D5  D5           G5      A5
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

        D5        G5        A5        D5             B5
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        G5                   A5               D5        G5 A5
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

D5   D5  D5              G5         A5
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say  
D5   D5  D5              G5         A5
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today
       D5  D5  D5        G5           A5
If the button is pushed there's no running away
       D5 D5  D5         G5          A5
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
       D5   D5  D5      G5                  A5
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy

        D5        G5        A5        D5             B5
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        G5                   A5               D5        G5 A5
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'
 
       D5        G5        A5        D5             B5
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        G5                   A5               D5        G5 A5
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
 
       D5        G5        A5        D5             B5
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        G5                   A5               D5        G5 A5
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
        G5                   A5               D5         
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
