INTRO:
D G D G D G D

VERSE 1:
Am D G C C/B
Well this is horror show time in the heart of the Pacific
Am D G C C/B
The French and the cavalry are dealing deadly wares
Am D G C C/B
And you can stand back in anger or totally despair
Am D G C C/B Am
Or you can raise your voices up, maybe move some air

CHORUS:
D G C
Maybe the rain will wash your tears away
D Em
Into the stream with autumn leaves
C C/B C/A G
That some other spring may grow
C C/B C/A G
Sometime some other spring may grow
D G C
Maybe the rain will wash your poison hands
D Em
Into the open belly of the ocean wide
C C/B C/A G
That some other child may grow
C C/B C/A G
Sometime some other child may grow

VERSE 2:
There is no getting out of this - the damage is horrific
And while they're tattooing chromosomes
from Bikini to the Marshall Islands
They make your front yard a urinal, during R&R
Well this is some kind of suicide, beyond the mere bizzare

CHORUS (repeat last line)

ENDING:
D G D G D G D G
Maybe the rain, maybe the rain, maybe the rain
