The Eve of Destruction chords
The Turtles 1965 (P.F. Sloan)
C
C F G
The Eastern world it is explodin'
C F G
Violence flarin' and bullets loadin'
C F G
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
C F G
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're toting?
C F G
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
C F G C Am
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
F G C F G
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
C F G
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
C F G
Can't you feel the fears that I'm feelin' today
C F G
If the button is pushed there's no running away
C F G
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
C F G
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy
C F G C Am
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
F G C F G
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
C F G C Am
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
F G C F G
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
C F G
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
C F G
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
C F G
You may leave here for four days in space
C F G
But when you return, it's the same old place
C F G
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace
C F G
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
C
Hate your next door neighbor
F G
But don't forget to say grace
C F G C Am
And tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
F G C
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
F G C F G C
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
