Eve of Destruction sing and play along

Level 5D120 BPMBarry McGuire
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

The Eastern world

it is explodin',

violence flarin' bullets loadin'.

You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'.

You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?

And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'!

But you tell me over and over and over again,

my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say?

Can't you feel the fears that I'm feelin' today?

If the button is pushed,

there's no running away.

There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave.

Take a look around you, boy.

It's bound to scare you, boy.

And you tell me over and over and over again,

my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

tell me over and over and over again,

my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

tell me over and over and over again,

my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
