"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.
