Eve Of Destruction:Barry McGuire. #1 in '65. Probably the best protest song of the '60's. #1. D G A 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... CHORUS: A 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. #2. 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... CHORUS: #3. D G A My blood's so mad, feels like coagulating. D G A And I'm sitting here, just contemplating. D G A I can't change 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 damn world is just too frustrating... CHORUS: #4. D G A Think of all the hate there is in Red China. D G A Then 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 damned 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... CHORUS: ADD: D G A D Yeah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. D G A D No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
