come away with William Tell,
Come away to the land
D 
he loved so well,
G 
What a day, what a day,
when the apple fell,
D 
G 
For Tell and Switzerland!
Come away with Tell to the
mountain side,
Look down to the past
D 
where the tyrants ride,
G 
Pit a bow, dee a bow, and down they go,
D 
G 
For Tell and Switzerland!

B 
We will not bear a foreign yoke,
Our freedom song will echo on
Em

to fight for what is right
G 
Hurry on, hurry on,
there's a dungeon cell
Hurry on, hurry on,
D 
there's a moose as well
G 
But we'll escape from the jaws of hell
D

D 
Our life is in our hands
G 
Follow one, follow one,
let the leaders heal
With a thrust of a pike
D 
and a clash of steel
G 
Follow one with a fight till the tyrants reel
D 
G 
For Tal and Switzerland
Give them one for the
day they burnt the grain
Give them two for the night
D 
that Fritz was slain
G 
Give them three, give them four,
and a right one more
D 
G 
For Tal and Switzerland
Em 
B 
The shepherds' group,
the reaping hook
Have taken on a warlike look
With blades we've beaten,
G 
Em 
from the plough we reap
A 
D 
our harvest now!
G 
Come away, come away with William Tell,
D 
Come away to the land he loved so well,
G 
Bit of oak, be of oak,
and away we go forth tell,
D 
G 
I'm Switzerland!
