Eve of Destruction The Turtles
The Eve of Destruction chords
The Turtles 1965 (P.F. Sloan)
[D]
The [D]Eastern world [G]it is ex[A]plodin'
[D]Violence flarin' and [G]bullets [A]loadin'
You're [D]old enough to kill, but [G]not for [A]votin'
You [D]don't believe in war, but [G]what's that gun you're [A]toting?
And [D]even the Jordan River has [G]bodies [A]floatin'
But you [D]tell me, [G]over and [A]over and [D]over again my [Bm]friend,
Ah, you [G]don't believe we're [A]on the eve of de[D]struction[G].[A]
[D]Don't you understand what I'm [G]tryin' to [A]say
[D]Can't you feel the fears that I'm [G]feelin' to[A]day
If the [D]button is pushed there's [G]no running a[A]way
There'll be [D]no one to save with the [G]world in a [A]grave
Take a [D]look around you boy, it's [G]bound to scare you [A]boy
But you [D]tell me, [G]over and [A]over and [D]over again my [Bm]friend,
Ah, you [G]don't believe we're [A]on the eve of de[D]struction[G].[A]
But you [D]tell me, [G]over and [A]over and [D]over again my [Bm]friend,
Ah, you [G]don't believe we're [A]on the eve of de[D]struction[G].[A]
[D]Think of all the hate there [G]is in Red [A]China
[D]Then take a look around to [G]Selma, Ala[A]bama
[D]You may leave here for f[G]our days in [A]space
[D]But when you return, it's the [G]same old [A]place
The [D]pounding drums, the [G]pride and dis[A]grace
You can [D]bury your dead, but [G]don't leave a [A]trace
Hate your [D]next door neighbor
But [G]don't forget to [A]say grace
And [D]tell me, [G]over and [A]over and [D]over again my [Bm]friend,
Ah, you [G]don't believe we're [A]on the eve of de[D]struction.
Ah, you [G]don't believe we're [A]on the eve of de[D]struction[G] [A] [D]
