[Cm] [Bbm] I heard he [Eb]
sang a good [Ab] song, I heard he [Db]
had [Ab] style,
[Bbm] And so I [Eb]
came to see him [Fm] to listen for a while.
[Bbm] And there [Eb] he was, this young [Ab] boy, a stranger [C] to my [Fm] eyes,
Strumming my beat with [Db] his fingers, [Eb] singing my life with [Ab] his words,
[Fm] Killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [Eb] me softly [Db] with his song,
Telling [Ab] my whole life [Db] with his words, killing [Gb] me softly with [Db] his [F] song.
I [Cm] [Bbm] felt [Eb] all flushed with [Ab] fever, embarrassed [Db]
by the [Ab] [Bbm] crowd,
I felt [Eb] he'd call my name [Fm] and release when I [Bbm] vowed.
I prayed that [Eb] he would [Ab] finish, but he [C] just can't write [Fm] on,
Strumming my beat [Db] with his fingers, [Eb] singing my life with his [Ab] words,
[Fm] Killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [Eb] me softly [Db] with his song,
Telling [Ab] my whole life [Db] with his words, killing [Gb] me softly with [F] his song.

[Ab] [Bbm] And then he [Eb]
looked right through [Fm] me as if I wasn't there,
[Bbm] But he [Eb] was there, this stranger, [Ab] singing [C]
clear and [Fm] strong,
Strumming my beat with [Db] his fingers, [Eb] singing my life with his [Ab] words,
[Fm] Killing me softly [D] with his [Bb] song, killing [Eb] me softly with [Db] his song,
