Sloan) D Dsus4 D 4x D G A7 The Eastern world it is explodin' D G A Violence flarin' and bullets loadin' D G A7 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 totin' 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 (D Dsus4 D) G A Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. D G A7 Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say D G A Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today D G A7 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 (D Dsus4 D) G A Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. D G A7 My blood's so mad feels like coagulatin' D G A I'm sittin' here just contemplatin' D G A7 You can't twist the truth it knows no regulation D G A And a handful of Senators don't pass legislation D G A Marches alone can't bring integration D G A When human respect is disintegratin' D G A This whole crazy world is just too frustratin' D G A D Bm And you tell me, over and over and over again my friend, G A D (D Dsus4 D) G A Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. D G A7 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 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.
