 1.
              A 
 The possible dream;   finale of seem
                                                      Bm   E
 The moment that some call eternal,  that some call insane
                A    A7/G                 D/F#    Dm/F
 Now helmets on each head,   awaiting the first led
               A/E  E                 A
 The pageant is named:    the Pencil Rain

 2.
     Bb       A          Bb            A 
 The infantry stands and holds out its hands
     Bb          A                                  Bm    E 
 The marshall's binoculars focus;  and skyward they train
                       A      A7/G                     D/F#    Dm/F
 They're searching the yonder blue - they look out for Number Two
              A/E E             A 
 The heraldry of    the Pencil Rain

      Bb          A         Bb       A    
 And now hear the roar that none can ignore
      Bb          A                     A       Bm             E 
 The thunderous clatter of splintering wood and lives that are claimed
                   A         A7/G               D/F#      Dm/F
 And none who have witnessed all can speak of a nobler cause
                A/E  E              A
 Than perishing in    the Pencil Rain
