[D][Dsus4]  [D][Dsus4]   
{c: }
The [D] Eastern world, it [G] is ex-[A7]plodin' 
[D] Violence flarin' [G], bullets [A] loadin' 
You're [D] old enough to kill, but [G] not for [A] votin' 
You [D] don't believe in war, but [G] what's that gun you're [A] totin'?  
And [D] even the Jordan River has, [G] bodies [A] floatin' 
{c: }
But you [D] tell me, [G] over and [A] over and [D] over again my [Bm] friend 
Ah, you [G] don't believe, we're [A] on the Eve of Des-[D]truction [D][Dsus4] [D][Dsus4]  [G][A] 
{c: }
[D] Don't you understand what I'm [G] tryin' to [A] say?  
[D] Can't you feel the fears that I'm [G] feelin' [A] today? 
If the [D] button is pushed there's no [G] running a-[A]way 
There'll be [D] no one to save with the [G] world in a [A] grave 
Take a [D] look around you boy, it's [G] bound to scare you [A] boy 
{c: }
And you [D] tell me, [G] over and [A] over and [D] over again my [Bm] friend 
Ah, you [G] don't believe, we're [A] on the Eve of Des-[D] truction [D][Dsus4] [D][Dsus4] [G][A] 
{c: }
My [D] blood's so mad, feels [G] like coagu-[A7]latin' 
[D] I'm sittin' here, [G] just contem-[A] platin' 
[D] Can't twist the truth it [G] knows no regu-[A]lation 
[D] Handful of Senators don't [G] pass legis-[A]lation 
[D] and Marches alone, can't [G] bring inte-[D]gration, 
When [D] human respect is, [G] disinter-[D]gratin' 
[D] This whole crazy world is [G] just too frus-[A]tratin'. 
{c: }
And you [D] tell me, [G] over and [A] over and [D] over again my [Bm] friend 
Ah, you [G] don't believe, we're [A] on the Eve of Des-[D] truction [D][Dsus4] [D][Dsus4] [G][A] 
{c: }
[D] Think of all the hate there [G] is in Red [A7] China 
Then [D] take a look around to [G] Selma, Ala-[A]bama 
[D] You may leave here, for [G] four days in [A] space 
But [D] when you return, it's the [G] same old [A] place 
The [D] pounding of the drums, the [G] pride and dis-[A]grace 
You can [D] bury your dead, but don't [G] leave a [A] trace, 
[D] Hate your next door neighbour but [G] don't forget to [A] say grace 
{c: }
But you [D] tell me,  
[G] over and [A] over and [D] over and over a-[Bm]gain my friend 
You [G] don't believe we're [A] on the Eve of Des-[D]truction  
You [G] don't believe we're [A] on the Eve of Des-[D]truction [D]
