lyrics

Song: “Come away, come away, death”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
(from Twelfth Night)
Am9 Am9+4 Am9 Am9+4
Come away, come away, death,
Am Em Am Em
And in sad cypress let me be laid.
Am9 Am9+4 Am9 Am9+4
Fly away, fly away, breath;
Am Em Am Em
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
Dm Am G#m C#m
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
B A C#m
O, prepare it!
B A G#m C#m
My part of death, no one so true
B A C#m
Did share it.

Not a flower, not a flower sweet,
On my black coffin let there be strown.
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there!

Am9: x02500 (AECBE)
Am9+4: x02430 (AEBDE)
