Come Away Death chords by Dave Matthews

Chords with lyrics

"Come Away Death"
From William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"
Capo 1st fret

FF            C majorC
Come away, come away, death
DmDm           Bb majorBb
And in sad cypress let me be laid.
FF            C majorC
Fly away, fly away, breath;
DmDm             Bb majorBb
I am slain by a fair cruel maid

FF                  C majorC
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew
Bb majorBb
O, prepare it
FF               C majorC
My part of death, no one so true
Bb majorBb
Did share it

FF              C majorC
Not a flower, not a flower sweet
DmDm               Bb majorBb
On my black coffin let there be strown
FF              C majorC
Not a friend, not a friend greet
DmDm                   Bb majorBb
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown

FF               C majorC
A augmentedA thousand thousand sighs to save
Bb majorBb
Lay me, O, where
FF               C majorC
Sad true lover never find my grave
Bb majorBb
To weep there

FF            C majorC
Come away, come away, death,
DmDm              Bb majorBb
And in sad cypress let me be laid
FF           C majorC
Fly away, fly away, breath
DmDm             Bb majorBb
I am slain by a fair cruel maid


Dave Matthews performed this song on piano as a part of a video interview series
in 2013 for SpiTune Video. I'm sure the full keyboard part could be more
completely transcribed, but the simplicity of the song sounds great like this.
