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
