Eve of Destruction Barry McGuire
The Eve of Destruction chords
Barry McGuire
D Dsus4 4x
The [D]Eastern world [G]it is ex[A7]plodin'
[D]Violence flarin' and [G]bullets [A]loadin'
You're [D]old enough to kill, but [G]not for [A7]votin'
You [D]don't believe in war, but [G]what's that gun you're [A]totin'
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 [A7]say
[D]Can't you feel the fear that I'm [G]feelin' to[A]day
If the [D]button is pushed there's [G]no running a[A7]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]
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'
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]
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
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]
Ah, you [G]don't believe we're [A]on the eve of de[D]struction
