The eastern world, it is explodin
D                   G       A
Violence flares and bullets loading
       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      A
And even the Jordan River has bodies floating


        D        G        A        D              Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend
          G                   A                D
Aaah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

D                             G         A
Don't you understand what I'm tryin to say?
D                                G       A
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today?
       D                           G        A
If the button is pushed there's no running away
            D                       G          A
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
       D                         G                  A
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy

        D        G        A        D              Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend
          G                   A                D
Aaah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction


D                          G         A
Ah my blood's so mad feels like coagulating
    D                      G     A
I'm sitting here, just contemplating
  D                          G          A
I can't switch the truth, it has no regulation
  D                         G         A
A handful of senators can't pass legislation
    D                   G          A
And marches alone can't bring integration
     D                G      A
When human respect is disintegrating
     D                   G            A
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating


        D        G        A        D              Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend
          G                   A                D
Aaah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction


D                           G         A
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
     D                 G         A
Take a look around at Selma, Alabama.
D                       G            A
You may leave here, for four days in space,
    D                        G           A
But when you return it's the same old place.
    D                          G            A
The pounding of the drums, 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 grace...

        D        G        A        D              Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend
