D                  G       A
The eastern world, it is explodin'

Violence flarin' 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, but you

VERSE 2:
D                             G         A
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
D                            G       A
Can't you feel the fears 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, and you

VERSE 3:
      D                        G         A
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulating
D                      G     A
I'm sitting here, just contemplating
D                           G            A
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
D                         G         A
Handful of senators don'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 crazy world is just too frustrating, and you

CHORUS:
D        G        A        D              Bm

VERSE 4:
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 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 neighbour, but don't forget to say grace, and

CHORUS:
D        G        A        D                       Bm
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
D           G                   A                D
No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

D Dsus4 Dsus2 X2  G A
