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