Eve Of Destruction Chords by Barry Mcguire

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ Eastern world, [G] it [A] is exploding, [D] _ _ it's [G] blaring,
_ [A]
Slithloat, [D] heroes enough to kill, [G] but not [A] provoke,
[D] And don't believe in war, [G] but what's that [A] gun you're towing?
[D] And even the George River [G] has [A] bodies floating,
But [D] _ you'll be [Em]
over [A] _ _ [D] _ again, my [Bm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ baby,
[A] With the epoch [D] destruction, _ _ _ yeah.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] Why don't you [G] understand what I'm trying [A] to say?
[D] Can't you feel the fears [G] I'm feeling [A] today?
[D] If the button is [G] pushed, there's no running [A] away,
[D] There'll be no one to save, [G] we'll build a world in [A] a grave,
[D] Take a look around you, boy, [G] it's bound to [A] scare you, boy,
[D] Can't you tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] and over,
_ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] destruction, _ _ _ yeah.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ Ah, my blood's so mad, [G] feels like [A] coagulant,
[D] I'm sitting [G] here just god [A] damn bleeding,
[D] I can't twist the truth, [G] it knows no [A] regulation,
[D] And a handful of senators don't [A] pass legislation,
[D] Headquarters alone [G]
can't [A] bring integration,
When [D] human respect [G] is _ [A] disinterpreting,
[D] This whole crazy world [G] is just [Am] too frustrating,
[D] Can't you tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] and over again, my [Bm] friend,
Ah, you [G] don't believe [A]
we're on the eve [D] of destruction, _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] I _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ think of all the hate [G] there is [A] in red China,
_ [D] Take a look around, [G] this is [A] Elmwood, Alabama,
[D] You may leave [A] here for four days in space,
[D] But when you return it's [G] the same old [A] place,
[D] At the pounding of the drums, [G] the brightness [A] grays,
You can [D] bury your dead, [G] but don't leave [A] a trace,
[D] Hate your next door neighbor, [Em] but don't [A] forget to take [D] grace,
Can't you tell me [A] over and over [D] and over and over [Bm] again, my friend,
[G] Ah, you don't believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] destruction, _ _ _
Ah, no, [G] no, you don't believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] destruction, _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
