[F#] [C#m]

[C#m] [F#]
[C#m] I heard [F#] she sang a good song, [B] I heard [E] 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 [D#] eyes,
[G#m] Strumming my pain with her [C#m] 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 [B] my whole life with her [E] 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 [F#] prayed 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 [E] with her words, Killing me [A] 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 [B] stranger, [D#] Singing clear and strong,
[G#m] 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 her [E] song,
Telling [B] my whole life with her [E] words, Killing [A] me softly with [G#] her song.
