Chords for Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire /w Don & Wendy Francisco

_ [Cm] _ _ [D] This is the first time we've sung together [Eb] in about nine years, [C] maybe ten.
In a long time.
It's just so great to be here this evening.
There's a tune I did back in the mid-60s [D] that kind of was a benchmark [Db] for me.
I had no idea [C] it was going to do what it did.
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] It became a number one tune. _
_ I [Gm] still sing it because the [G] song is more valid today than it was when it was first recorded. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Questions and_
_ [N] So we just thought we'd sing it first here to establish the questions.
_ And then the rest of the evening, between me and Don and Wendy, we _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ taste and see.
This is the song _ _ that's more valid [D] now than it was then. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Down the eastern [F] world
It [G] is explosion
[C] Violent scram
[F] _ [G] Bonus load
[C] You're old enough to kill
[G] It's not revoking
[C] If you don't believe in war
I'll whoop [G] that gun you took
[C] And even the Jordan River [F] has
[G] Bodies floating and you Tell me
[F] Over [G] and over and [C] over again [Am] my friend _
[F] Say that you don't believe
_ [G] We're on the eve of [C] destruction
_ _ _ _ And now [F] you don't believe, [G] no no _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Hell I know you understand [F] what I'm trying [G] to say
[C] I know you feel the [F] fears, I'm still feeling them [G] today
[C] When the button is pushed, there'll be no [G] running away
[C] There'll be no one to save
[F] With the [G] world in a grave
[C] Take a look around you boy
[F] It's bound to [G] scare you boy [C] And you
[D] Tell me over [G] and over and over again [Am] my friend _
[F] Say that you don't believe
[G] We're on the eve of [C] destruction
And now _ _ _ [F] you don't believe, [G] no no _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well my blood's so mad
[F] He's like [G]
coagulating
[C] I'm standing here [F] just _ [G]
contemplating
[C] You can't twist the truth
[F] It knows no [G]
regulation
[C] And a handful of [F] senators
Can't pass [G]
legislation
[C] And marches [G] alone
Will never bring integration
[C] When human respect is
[F] A _ [G] disintegration
This whole crazy world
[F] Is just too [G]
frustrating [C] and you
Tell me [F] over [G] and over [C] and over again [Am] my friend
Say [F] that you don't believe
[G] We're on the eve [C] of destruction
_ _ _ And now [F] you don't [G] believe
We're on the eve of [C] destruction _ _ _ _ _ _
Well think of all the hate
[F] There is [G] in red China
[C] Then take a look around
To [F] the Taliban [G] Al Qaeda
[C] How we can leave here
[F] For six [G] months in space
[C] But when we return
[F] It's the same [G] old place
[C] Now they're pounding on the drums
[F] Right [G] in disgrace
[C] We can bury our dead
[F] And not leave [G] a trace
[C] Hate our next door neighbor
[F] But don't [G] forget to say grace and
[C] Tell [D] me [G] over and over [C] and over and over [A] again my friend
[F] Say that you don't believe
[G] We're on the eve [C] of destruction
And _ _ [D] _
[F] now you don't believe
[G] We're on the eve [C] of destruction _ _ _ _ _
