1.
             Ab
The possible dream;   finale of seem

                                                     Bbm   Eb
The moment that some call eternal,  that some call insane

               Ab   Ab7                  Db    Dbm
Now helmets on each head,   awaiting the first led

               Ab Eb                Ab   - / A
The pageant is named:    the Pencil Rain


2.
             Ab   -  /  A             Ab    - / A
The infantry stands and holds out its hands

                 Ab              -  /  A           Bbm   Eb
The marshall's binoculars focus;  and skyward they train

                      Ab     Ab7                      Db     Dbm
They're searching the yonder blue - they look out for Number Two

             Ab Eb            Ab   - / A
The heraldry of    the Pencil Rain

3.
                 Ab - /  A Ab    - / A
And now hear the roar that none can ignore

                 Ab              -  /  A       Bbm            Eb
The thunderous clatter of splintering wood and lives that are claimed

                  Ab        Ab7                Db     Dbm
And none who have witnessed all can speak of a nobler cause

               Ab Eb            Ab   - / A
Than perishing in    the Pencil Rain
