[Cm] [Bbm] I heard [Eb] he sang a good [Ab] song, [Eb] I heard [Db] he had a [Ab] [Bbm] style,
And so I [Eb] came to see him, [Fm] to listen for a [Eb] [Fm] while.
[Bbm] And there he [Eb] was, this young [Ab] boy, a stranger [C] to my [Fm] eyes,
Strumming my pain with [Db] his fingers, [Eb] singing my life with his [Ab] words,
[Fm] Killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [Eb] me softly [Db] with his song,
Telling [Ab] my whole life [Db] with his words, killing [Gb] me softly with [F] his song.
[C] [F] I [Bbm]
felt [Eb] all flushed with fever, [Ab]
embarrassed [Db] by the [Ab] [Bbm] crowd,
I felt [Eb] he found my [Fm] lullies, and read each one aloud.
[Bbm] I prayed [Eb] that he would [Ab] finish, but he [C] just can't write on [Fm]
[Db] his fingers,
[Eb] Singing my life [Ab] with his words, [Fm] killing me softly [Bb] with his song,
Killing [Eb] me softly [Db] with his song, telling [Ab] my whole life [Db] with his words,
Killing [Gb] me softly with [F] his song.

[F] [Bbm]
sang [Eb] as if he knew [Ab] me, in all [Db] my dark despair,
[Ab] [Bbm] And then he [Eb] looked right through [Fm] me, as if I wasn't there.
[Bbm] But he [Eb] was there, this stranger, [Ab]
singing [C] clear and [Fm] strong,
Strumming my pain with [Db] his fingers, [Eb] singing my life with [Ab] his words,
[Fm] Killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [Eb] me softly with [Db] his song,
[Ab] Telling my whole life with [Db] his words, killing me [Gb] softly with his [F] song.
