Cryptical Envelopment chords by Grateful Dead

• Difficulty: Advanced

🎸 Verse 1:
E                     Esus4
The other day they waited
Asus4                E
The sky was dark and faded
E D C# B A B D
Solemnly they stated
A          G
He has to die
A                  G
You know he has to die.



🎸 Verse 2:
E                    Esus4
And all the children learnin'
Asus4                     E
From books that they were burnin'
E  D  C#   B A B  D
Every leaf was turnin'
             A     G
To watch him die
N.C.
You know he had to die. (Walk-down chromatically from G to E)

🎸 Bridge:
Em         G          D
The summer sun looked down on him
C           B        Am            Am/G
His mother could but frown on him
Dm/F        D7/F#     Em/G       G#dim/G#
And all the others sound on him
Am   F#7/A#            B7
But it doesn't seem to matter.


🎸 Verse 3:
E                      Esus4
And when the day had ended
Asus4                E
With rainbow colors blended
E   D    C#   B   A B D
His mind remained unbended
A          E
He had to die
A                  E
You know he had to die.
