The Eve of Destruction chords https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_of_Destruction_(song) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
    D             G        A
The Eastern world  it is explodin'

D                     G        A
 Violence flarin' and  bullets loadin'

       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 toting?

    D                         G      A
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
[Chorus]
        D        G        A        D             Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,

        G                   A               D        G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
[Verse 2]
D                             G          A
Don't you understand what I'm  tryin' to say  

D                                 G          A
Can't you feel the fears that I'm  feelin' 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]
        D        G        A        D             Bm
And you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,

        G                   A               D        G A
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
[Verse 3]
D                             G       A
Think of all the hate there is in Red China

     D                     G         A
Then take a look around to 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 drums, the pride and disgrace

        D                   G             A
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace

          D                        
Hate your next door neighbor

    G               A
But don't forget to say grace
[Chorus]
    D        G        A        D              Bm
And tell me, over and over and over and over again my friend,

        G                   A               D        
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
[Outro]
              G                   A                D         G A   D
Oh no no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
