Grateful Dead – Cryptical Envelopment (Guitar)

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.

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

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.

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.
