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