[Db] [Ab]
[Db]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Db] [Eb] I [Bbm] [Eb] heard he sang [Ab] a good song [Db] I heard he had [Bbm] a style
[Eb] And so I came to [Fm] see him to listen for a [Ebm] while
[Bbm] And [Eb] there he was this [Ab] young boy A [C] stranger to my [Fm] eyes
Strumming my [Bbm] fingers, fingers [Eb] Singing my [Ab] life with his [Fm] words
Killing me [Bb] softly with his song [Eb] Killing me softly with [Db] his song
[Ab] Telling my whole life [Db] with his words [Gb] Killing me softly with [F] his song
I [Bbm] [Eb] felt all flushed with [Ab] fever [Db] Embarrassed by [Bbm] the crowd
[Ebm] I [Eb] felt he found my [Fm] letters And read each one [Eb] out [Bbm] loud
[Eb] Afraid that he would [Ab] finish But [C] he just kept right [Fm] on
Strumming my [Bbm] fingers, [Eb] fingers Singing my [Ab] life with his [Fm] words
Killing me [Bb] softly with his song [Eb] Killing me softly [Db] with his song
[Ab] Telling my whole [Db] life with his words [Gb] Killing me softly [F] with his song
He [Bbm] [Eb] sang as if he [Ab] knew me In [Db] all my dark [Bbm] despair
And [Eb] then he looked right through [Fm] me As if I wasn't [F] [Bbm] there
And he [Eb] just kept on [Ab] singing [C] Singing clear and [Fm] strong
Strumming my [Bbm] fingers, fingers [Eb] Singing my [Ab] life with his words
[Fm] Killing me [Bb] softly with his song [Eb] Killing me softly with [Db] his song
[Ab] Telling my whole life [Db] with his words [Gb] Killing me softly [F] with his song

[Ab] Telling my whole [Db] life with his words [Gb] Killing me softly [F] with
[Fm] [Bbm] his [Eb] [Ab] song
