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