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.
