Come Away Death chords by Dave Matthews

Guitar chords with lyrics

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

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

F                                   C
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew
Bb
O, prepare it
F                             C
My part of death, no one so true
Bb
Did share it
F                            C
Not a flower, not a flower sweet
Dm                             Bb
On my black coffin let there be strown
F                            C
Not a friend, not a friend greet
Dm                                      Bb
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown

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

F                       C
Come away, come away, death,
Dm                            Bb
And in sad cypress let me be laid
F                      C
Fly away, fly away, breath
Dm                          Bb
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.
