[E]
[B] [E]
[Em] Strong in my pain with [Am] his fingers,
[D] Sing in my [G] life with his [D] words,
[Em] Killing me softly [A] with his song,
Killing [D] me softly [C] with his song,
Telling [G] my whole life [C] with his [G] words,
Killing [F] me softly with [E] his song,
I [Am]
heard he [D] sang a good [G]
song,
I heard [C] he had a [G] style,
[Am] And so [D] I came to [Em] see him,
To listen for a while,
[A] And there [D] he was, this young [G] boy,
A [B] stranger to my [Em]
eyes,
Strong in my pain [Am]
[D] with his fingers,
Sing in my life [G] [D]
[Em] with his words,
Killing me softly [A] with his song,
Killing me softly [D] [C] with his song,
[G] Telling my whole life [C] with his words,
[F] Killing me softly with [E] his song,
[Am] I [D] felt all flushed with [G] reverb,
[C] Embarrassed by the [Bm]
[A] crowd,
I [D] fell deep down on my [Em] letters,
And read each one out loud,
[A] I [D] prayed that he would [G] finish,
But he [B] just kept right [Em]
on,
Strong in my pain [Am]
[D] with his fingers,
Sing in my life [G] [D]
[Em] with his words,
Killing me softly [A] with his song,
Killing [D] me softly [C] with his song,
[G] Telling my whole life [C] with his [G] words,
[F] Killing me softly with [E] his song,
[A] He [D] sang as if he knew me,
[G] In [C] all my [G] dark despair,
[Am] And [D] then he looked right through [Em] me,
As if I wasn't there,
[A] And he [D] just kept on singing,
[G] [B] Singing clear and [Em] strong,
Strong in my pain with [Am] his fingers,
[D] Sing in my life [G] [D] [Em] with his words,
Killing me [A]
[D] softly [C] with his song,
[G] Telling my whole life [C] with his words,
[Em] Killing [F] me softly with his [E] song,
