[Intro]
D Dsus4 Dsus2 x4
[Verse]
D G A
The eastern world, it is explodin'
D G A
Violence flarin' bullets loading
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 floating, but you
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
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
[Break]
D Dsus4 Dsus2 x2
G A
[Verse]
D G A
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
D G A
Can't you feel the fears 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, and you
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
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
[Break]

D Dsus4 Dsus2 x2
[Verse]
D G A
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulating
D G A
I'm sitting here, just contemplating
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 disintegrating
D G A
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating, and you
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
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
[Break]
D Dsus4 Dsus2 x2
G A
D Dsus4 Dsus2 x2
[Verse]
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 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 next door neighbour, but don't forget to say grace, and
[Chorus]
D G A D Bm
Tell me, over and over and over and over again, my friend
G A D
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
D G A D
No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
[Break]
