I heard
[C#m] [F#] she sang a good [B] song, [E] I heard she had a style,
[C#m]
And [F#] so I came to see [G#m] her, and listen for a while,
[C#m]
And there she [F#] was, this young girl, [B] A stranger [D#] to my 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 her [C#] song, Killing me [F#] softly with her [E] song,
Telling my [B] whole life with her [E] words, Killing [A] me softly with [G#] her song.
[C#m] I felt all [F#] 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 [B] finish, But she [D#] just kept right [G#m] on,
Strumming my pain [C#m] with her fingers, [F#] Singing my life [B] with her words,
[G#m] Killing me softly with her [C#] song, Killing me [F#] softly with her [E] song,
Telling my [B] whole life with her [E] words, Killing me [A] softly with [G#] her song.
[C#m] She sang as [F#] if she knew me, [B] In all [E] my dark despair,
[C#m] And then she [F#] looked right through me, [G#m] As if I wasn't there,
[C#m] But she [F#] was there, this [B] stranger, 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 [E] her song,
Telling [B] my whole life with [E] her words, Killing [A] me softly with [G#] her song.
