I [F#] heard she sang a good [B] song I [E] heard she had a style
[C#m]
And so [F#] I came to see [G] [G#m] her To listen for a while
And [C#m]
there she [F#] was, this young [B] girl A stranger [D#] to my [G#m] eyes
Strumming my pain with [C#m] her fingers [F#]
Singing my life with her [B] 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
[D#]
[C#m] I felt all flushed with fever [B]
[E] Embarrassed by the crowd
[C#m]
I felt [F#] she found my leathers [G#m]
And read each one aloud
[C#m] I prayed [F#] that she would finish [B]
But she [D#] just kept right [G#m] on
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
She [C#m]
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 stranger [B]
Singing [D#] clear and [G#m] strong
Strumming my pain with [C#m] her fingers [F#]
Singing my life with her [B] words
[G#m]
Killing me softly [B] with [C#] her song Killing me [F#] softly with her [E] song
