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, listen for a while, [C#m]
And there she [F#] was, this young girl, [B]
a [D#] stranger
to my [G#m] eyes, Drumming 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 her [E] song, Telling [B] my whole life with [E] her 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 [G#m] leathers, And read each one [D#m] aloud,
[C#m]
I [F#] prayed that she would [B] finish, But she [D#] just kept right [G#m] on,
Drumming my pain [C#m] with her [C#] fingers, [F#]
Singing my life [B] with her words,
[G#m]
Killing me softly [C#] with her song, Killing [F#] me softly [E] with her song,
Telling [B] my whole life [E] with her words, Killing [A] me 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 stranger, [B]
[D#] Singing clear [G] and [G#m] strong,
Drumming 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 my [B] whole life with her [E] words, Killing me [A]
softly with [G#] her song.
