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
