[Verse 1]
D G A7 D G AThe Eastern world it is explodin', violence flarin' and bullets loadin',
D G AYou're old enough to kill, but not for votin',
D G AYou don't believe in war, but's what's that gun you're totin'?
D G AAnd even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
 
[Chorus]
D G A D BmBut you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G AAh, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
 
[Verse 2]
D G A D G ADon't you understand what I'm tryin' to say? Can't you feel the fear that I'm feelin' today?
D G AIf the button is pushed there's no running away,
D G AThere'll be no one to save with the world in a grave.
D G ATake a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy,
 
[Chorus]
D G A D BmBut you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G AAh, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
 
[Verse 3]
D G A7 D G AMy blood's so mad feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
D G A D G AYou can't twist the truth it knows no regulation, and a handful of Senators don't pass legislation.
D G A D G AMarches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin'.
D G AThis whole crazy world is just too frustratin'.
 
[Chorus]
D G A D BmBut you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G AAh, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
 
[Verse 4]
D G A7 D G AThink of all the hate there is in Red China, then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
D G A D G AYou may leave here for four days in space, But when you return, it's the same old place.
D G A D G AThe pounding drums, the pride and disgrace, you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
D G AHate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace.
 
[Chorus]
D G A D BmBut you tell me, over and over and over and over again my friend,
G A D G AAh, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
