Capo 1


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
