C 

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

        C        F        G        C             Am
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        F                   G               C        F G
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

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

        C        F        G        C             Am
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        F                   G               C        F G
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

        C        F        G        C             Am
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        F                   G               C        F G
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

C                           F         G
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
C                          F         G
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
C                       F           G
You may leave here for four days in space
C                             F        G
But when you return, it's the same old place
    C                   F            G
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace
        C                   F             G
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
          C                        
Hate your next door neighbor
    F               G
But don't forget to say grace

    C        F        G        C             Am
And tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
        F                   G               C        
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
        F                   G               C         F G   C
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
