🎸 Verse 1:
E MajorE           Esus4Esus4
The other day they waited
Asus4Asus4        E MajorE
The sky was dark and faded
E MajorE D MajorD C#C# BB A augmentedA BB D MajorD
Solemnly they stated

He has to die
A augmentedA         G+G
You know he has to die.


🎸 Verse 2:
E MajorE          Esus4Esus4
And all the children learnin'
Asus4Asus4           E MajorE
From books that they were burnin'
E MajorE D MajorD C#C#  BB A augmentedA BB D MajorD
Every leaf was turnin'
       A augmentedA   G+G
To watch him die
N.C.
You know he had to die. (Walk-down chromatically from G+G to E MajorE)

His mother could but frown on him
Dm/F    D7/F#D7/F#   Em/GEm/G    G#dim/G#
And all the others sound on him

And when the day had ended

With rainbow colors blended

His mind remained unbended
A augmentedA     E MajorE
He had to die
A augmentedA         E MajorE
You know he had to die.
