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