Come Away Death chords by Dave Matthews

"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.
