Geff Harrison - Eve Of Destruction

      I:

G                 C       D
The eastern world it is exploding
G                 C       D
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
G                         C           D
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
G                            C                     D
You don't believe in war but whats that gun you're totin'?
G                             C       D
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

CHORUS:

        G
But you tell me
C        D        G    Bm       Em
Over and over and over again my friend
        Am
Ah, you don't believe
      D                G
We're on the eve of destruction

II:

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

CHORUS:

        G
But you tell me
C        D        G    Bm       Em
Over and over and over again my friend
        Am
Ah, you don't believe
      D                G
We're on the eve of destruction

III:

        G                    C         D
Yeah my blood's so mad feels like coagulating
    G                 C         D
I'm sitting here just contemplatin'
        G                    C         D
I can't twist the truth it knows no regulation
G                         C         D
Handful of senators don't pass legislation
    G                   C         D
And marches alone can't bring integration
     G                C      G
When human respect is disintegratin'
     G                         C       D
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'

CHORUS:

        G
But you tell me
C        D        G    Bm       Em
Over and over and over again my friend
        Am
Ah, you don't believe
      D                G
We're on the eve of destruction

IV:

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

CHORUS:

        G
But you tell me
C        D        G    Bm       Em
Over and over and over again my friend
        Am
Ah, you don't believe
      D                G
We're on the eve of destruction
        G
But you tell me
C        D        G    Bm       Em
Over and over and over again my friend
        Am
Ah, you don't believe
      D                G
We're on the eve of destruction
