Chords for Eve of Destruction by P.F. Sloan

_ [Bb] I've got nothing much to say about this song.
I wrote it in 1965.
I was 19 years old.
It went to number one all over the world.
Changed the constitution of the states.
[Gb] And [Ab] _ [G] I was kicked out of the Ames at business showbiz thereafter.
_ [C] _ _ _ [N] _
I've been _ wandering the desert for 40 years. _
And _ [Bb] I've just gotten to make an album in Nashville with Billy Block.
_ And [Gm] I'm going to try to kill him. _
[N] I _ _ _ _ really do love to sing and play.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, the music [G]
world, it is exploding.
[D] It's about to start [G] and it's gonna explode.
_ [D] We don't have to kill, [G] _ but not to blow it.
[D] And it will blow even [G] more, so watch out, it's gonna get loaded.
[D] Even the frozen [G] river has water that's floating.
[D] But it don't [G] keep on going over [D] and over again.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ I'm here, I'm here.
[D] And I _ know _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] you can understand [G] what I'm trying to say.
[D] Can't you feel the fear [G] I'm feeling today?
If I'm not disappointed, [D] _ [G] there'll be no running away.
Lord, there'll be no one to save, with this world in a fray.
[Dm] Hey, take a look around you, [G] boy.
And if it scares you, [D] boy, come on and take a look at me.
[G] Over [Em] and over [D] and over again.
[Bm] I'm not afraid.
_ _ [G] _
I don't [A] believe.
I don't [Em] need [D] nothing but you.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ Just my blood gets [G] so mad, it feels like coagulating.
I'm just standing [Dm] here, [G] and I've been concentrating.
_ You know, they [D] can't do truth, [G] because it's all coagulation.
[D] And I [B] can't put a center to it.
[G] They can't pass legislation.
[D] When money grows, [G] the value of a lecture.
[D] And my kids in law, [G] they cannot have segregation.
They can't even [D] respect, [G] and it's _ disintegrating.
[D] Lord, this whole [G] crazy world, it's got to go through [Em] a stretch. _
_ _ [D] _ I'm not afraid.
[G] I don't believe.
Over [Em] _ and [D] over and over again.
[Bm] I'm not afraid.
_ _ [G] _ I don't [A] believe.
I don't need [D] nothing but you. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Ever since my mother came, [G] had a fear from her child.
That I'll take a [D] look around, [G] and somehow or another.
[D] Yet you may leave here, [G] or go a days or three.
[D] Everywhere you turn, [G] there's a pain on the way.
[D] There's a time that was wrong, [G] there's a price to pay.
You [Dm] carry a debt, but [G] I'll take that as it was made.
It's your next door neighbor.
I don't forget to say grace, [Dm] and tell _ [G] peace.
Over and over [D] and over _ [Bm] again.
My friends, [G] I don't fear.
[A] From here, [D] I'll just go to bed.
_ _ [G] _
I'll bless you with a peace.
[Em] Over and over [D] and over _ _ [Bm] again. _
_ [G] I'm not in no [A] peace.
From here, [D] I'll just go to bed. _ _ _
