Intro: Ab


Verse:
             Ab
The possible dream;   finale of seem
                                                     Bbm   Eb
The moment that some call eternal,  that some call insane
               Ab   Ab7                  C#    C#m
Now helmets on each head,   awaiting the first led
               Ab Eb                Ab       A
The pageant is named:    the Pencil Rain


Verse 2:
The infantry stands and holds out its hands
The marshall's binoculars focus;  and skyward they train
They're searching the yonder blue - they look out for Number Two
The heraldry of    the Pencil Rain

Verse 3:
And now hear the roar that none can ignore
The thunderous clatter of splintering wood and lives that are claimed
And none who have witnessed all can speak of a nobler cause
Than perishing in    the Pencil Rain
