[F]
[Fm] I [Bbm]
felt [Eb] all flushed with fever, [Ab]
[Db] embarrassed by the crowd.
[Bbm]
I felt [Eb] it found my [C] letters [Fm] and wrote them down.
I read each one of them, [Bbm]
I prayed [Eb] that he would [Ab] finish.
But he [C] just kept right on [Fm] with [Bbm] his fingers,
[Eb]
and with [Ab] his words, [Fm] killing me softly [Bb] with his song.
Killing me [Eb] softly with [Db] his song.
[Ab]
[Db] Killing [Gb] me softly with [F] his song.
[C] [Bbm] Killing me softly with his song.
He sang as [Eb] if he knew [Ab] me in all [A] my [Db] dark despair.
[Bbm]
And then [Eb] he looked right through [Fm] me as if I [Cm] wasn't there.
[Bbm]
Well, he [Dbm] just [Eb] kept on singing, [Ab]
singing [C] clear and [Fm] strong.
And strumming with [Bbm] his fingers, [Eb] singing my life [Ab] with his words.
[Fm] Killing me softly [Ab] with [Bb] his song.
Killing [Eb] me softly [Db] with his song.
Killing [Ab] my whole life [Db] with his words.
Killing [Gb] me softly with [F] his song.

Killing my whole [Ab] life [Db] with his words.
Killing me [Gb] softly with his song.
