[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]eastern [G]world it is ex[A]ploding
[D]Violence fla[G]rin', bullets loa[A]din'
You're [D]old enough [G]to kill but
not for vot[A]in'
[D]You don't believe in war but [G]whats
that gun you're tot[A]in'?
And [D]even the Jordan River
[G]has bodies float[A]in'

[Verse 2]
But [D]you 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 de
[D]struction
[G][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Don't you understand what
[G]I'm tryin' to [A]say
[D]Can't you feel the fears
[G]I'm feelin' [A]today?
If the [D]button is pushed,
there's no [G]runnin' [A]away
There'll be [D]no one to save
with [G]the world in a [A]grave
Take a [D]look around you boy,
it's [G]bound to scare you [A]boy

[Verse 4]
And [D]you 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 de
[D]struction

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 5]
Yeah my [D]blood's so mad
feels [G]like coagulat[A]ing
I'm [D]sitting here [G]just contemplat[A]in'
I [D]can't twist the truth it [G]knows
no regula[A]tion
[D]Handful of senators don't
[G]pass legisla[A]tion
[D]And marches alone can't
[G]bring integra[A]tion
When [D]human respect is [G]disintegrat[A]in'
This [D]whole crazy world
is just [G]too frustrat[A]in'

[Verse 6]
And [D]you 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
destruc[D]tion

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Think of all the hate there
[G]is in Red Chin[A]a
Then [D]take a look around [G]to Selma,
[A]Alabama
You [D]may leave here for [G]four days [A]in space
But [D]when you return it's the
[G]same old [A]place
[D]The pounding of the drums,
[G]the pride and [A]disgrace
You can [D]bury your dead but
[G]don't leave [A]a trace
Hate your [D]next door neighbor but
[G]don't forget [A]to say grace

[Verse 8]
[D]And tell me
[G]Over and [A]over and [D]over and
over [Bm]again my friend
You [G]don't believe
We're [A]on the eve of de[D]struction
Mmm, no, no, you [G]don't believe
We're [A]on the eve of destruc[D]tion
[G][D]
