   G                   
   C

  The French and the cavalry are dealing deadly wares
 
   Am           
   D                  
   G

   G                
   C   
   C/B

  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

  That some other spring may grow

   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
