I [F#] heard she sang a good [B] song, I [E] heard she had a style,
[C#m]
And so [F#] I came to see [G#m] her, to 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 [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#]
[C#m] I felt [F#] 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 prayed [F#] that she would finish, [B]
But she [D#] just kept right [G#m] on,
Strumming my pain [C#m] with her [C#] 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,
[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 her [B] words,
[G#m]
Killing me softly with [C#] her song, Killing me [F#] softly with her [E] song,
Telling my [B] whole life with her [E] words, Killing me [A] softly with her [G#]
song.

[E] Killing me [A] softly with her [G#] song.
