Barry McGuire ? Eve of Destruction
D Dsus4 Dsus2 4x
[D]The [Dsus4]Eastern[Dsus2] world i[G]t is exp[A]lodin'
[D]Viol[Dsus4]ence fl[Dsus2]arin' and bullets load[G]in'[A]
You're [D]old[Dsus4] enough[Dsus2] to kill, b[G]ut not f[A]or votin'
You [D]don't[Dsus4] believ[Dsus2]e in war, b[G]ut what's that gun you'[A]re totin'
And [D]even [Dsus4]the Jor[Dsus2]dan River has bo[G]dies fl[A]oatin'
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'[Dsus4]t you u[Dsus2]nderstand what I'm [G]tryin' to [A]say
[D]Can'[Dsus4]t you f[Dsus2]eel the fear that I[G]'m feelin'[A] today
If the [D]but[Dsus4]ton is [Dsus2]pushed there'[G]s no running[A] away
There'l[D]l [Dsus4]be no o[Dsus2]ne to save wit[G]h the world[A] in a grave
Take a [D]look[Dsus4] around[Dsus2] you boy, i[G]t's bound to scare [A]you 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
