D                  G          A
The eastern world, 	it is explodin’.
D                  G            A
Violence flarin’, 	bullets loadin’
D                        G             A
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
D                         G                          A
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
D                            G           D
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

D
But you tell me
G        A         D             Bm
Over and over and over again, my friend
        G
Ah, you don’t believe
      A
We’re on the eve
   D            G, A, D, Dsus4, Dsus2...
of destruction.

D                            G          A
Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
D                           G          A
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
D                                G            A
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
D                          G                    A
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
D                       
Take a look around you boy
     G                  A
It’s bound to scare you boy

D
But you tell me
G        A         D             Bm
Over and over and over again, my friend
        G
Ah, you don’t believe
      A
We’re on the eve
   D            G, A, D, Dsus4, Dsus2...
of destruction.

D                             G         A 
Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
D                     G      A 
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
D                             G            A 
You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
D                         G         A
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
D                       G         A
And marches alone can’t bring integration
D                     G      A 
When human respect is disintegratin’
D                G                 A
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’

D
But you tell me
G        A         D             Bm
Over and over and over again, my friend
        G
Ah, you don’t believe
      A
We’re on the eve
   D            G, A, D, Dsus4, Dsus2...
of destruction.

D                           G         A
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
D                          G         A
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
D                  G             A
You may leave here for 4 days in space
D                             G          A
But when you return, it’s the same old place
D                             G            A  
The poundin’ of the drum, the pride and disgrace
D                           G              A
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
D                                 G               A
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say prayers

D
But you tell me
G        A         D             Bm
Over and over and over again, my friend
        G
Ah, you don’t believe
      A
We’re on the eve
   D            G, A, D, Dsus4, Dsus2...
of destruction.
