Tom: D

D             G       A7       D                   G              A
The Eastern world it is explodin', 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's what's that gun you're totin'?

  D                        G      A
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

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

  G                    A                D               
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.



D                           G         A7          D
Think of all the hate there is in Red China, then take a look around to
G          A
Selma, Alabama!

D                      G            A          D                         
You may leave here for four days in space, But when you return, it's the
G        A
same old place.

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,

        G                    A                D
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
