Chords for Eve of Destruction Barry Mcguire cover by Scott & Jay

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ In _ _ each certain world, _
[G] it [A] is a slum, [D] _ _
violence, murder, [G] _ bullets [E] loaded.
_ [D] You're old enough to kill, [G] but not [A] for vote.
[D] You don't believe in war, [G] but watch [B] that gun you're towing.
[D] And even the Jordan River [G] has [E] bodies [D] floating.
But just tell me [G] over [A] and over [D] and over again, [Bm] my friend. _
How [G] you don't believe [E] we're on the eve of [D] destruction? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] Don't you understand [G] what I'm trying [A] to say?
[D] Can't you see the fears that [G] I'm fearing [B] today?
[D] If the button is pushed, there'll [G] be no running [B] away.
There'll [D] be no one to save [G] with the world [A] in a grave.
[D] Take a look around you, boy.
[G] It's bound to [E] stay your boy.
And [D] just tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] and over _ again, my [Bm] friend. _
How [G] you don't believe [E] we're on the eve of [D] destruction? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Yeah, my blood's so mad, [G] it feels like _
[E] coagulating.
[D] _ I'm sitting here, [G] just [E] nodding.
_ [D]
I can't twist the truth.
[G] It knows no [E] regulations.
_ [D] Hands full of senators [G] don't pass [E] _
legislation.
[D] And marches alone [G]
can't bring [F#] you aggression.
[D] Where human respect has [G] _ _ [A]
disintegrated.
[D] This whole crazy world [G] is just too [E] frustrating, [D] and yet.
Tell me [G] _
[E] over and over [D] and over again, my [Bm] friend. _
[G] How you don't believe [A]
we're on the eve of [D] destruction?
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Think of all the hate [G] there is in red [E] China.
[D] And take a look around [G] _
Selma, [E] Alabama.
[A] Now you [D] may leave here [G] for four [E] days in space.
[D] But when you return, [G] it's the same old place.
[D] The pounding of the drums, [G] the [A] nightingale's trace.
[Em] I [D] think bury your dead, [G] but don't [F#] leave a trace.
[D] It's your next door [G] neighbor, but don't [E] forget to say grace.
And [C] tell [G] me over [A] and over [D] and over and [Bm] over again, my [G] friend.
You don't believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] destruction? _ _ _
_ _ No, [G] no, you don't believe [A] we're on the eve of [D] destruction. _ _
