[Ab] [Db]
[Cm] [Fm]
Strumming my [Db] pain with his fingers, [Ebm] singing my life [Ab] with his words,
[Fm] killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [B] me softly with his song,
telling my whole life [Dm] with his words, killing me softly with his song.
[Fm]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Fm] I heard he sang a good [Ab] song, I [Db] heard he had a [Bbm] style,
and so [Ab] I came to see [Fm] him, to listen for a while.
[Db] And there he was, this young [Ab] boy, a [C] stranger to my [Fm] eyes,
strumming my pain [Bbm] with his fingers, [Eb] singing my life [Ab] with his [Eb] words,
[Fm] killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [Eb] me softly with [Db] his song,
telling my [Ab] whole life with [Db] his words, killing [Ebm] me softly with [F] his song.
I [Db] felt all flushed with [Ab] fever, [Db] embarrassed by the [Bbm] crowd,
I felt [Eb] he found my [Fm] letters and read each one out [Ab] loud.
[Db] I prayed that he would finish, [Ab] but he [C] just kept [Fm] right on,
strumming my pain [Bbm] with his fingers, [Eb] singing my life [Ab] with his [Eb] words,
[Fm] killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [Eb] me softly [Db] with his song,
telling my [Ab] whole life with [Db] his words, [Ebm] killing [Gb] me softly with [F] his song.
[G]
[Fm] [Bbm] He [Db] sang as if he [Ab] knew me, in [Db] all my darkness [Bbm] fed,
and then [Eb] he looked right through me, [Fm] as if I wasn't [Ab] there,
[Bbm] [Db] and he just kept on singing, [Ab] singing [C] clear and [Fm] strong,
strumming my pain [Bbm] with his fingers, [Eb] singing my life [Ab] with his [Gm] words,
[Fm] killing me softly [Bb] with his song, killing [Eb] me softly [Db] with his song,
telling my [Ab] whole life [Db] with his words, killing [Ebm] me softly [C]
[Gb] with [F] his song.
