[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D G
Singing my life with his words
Em A
Killing me softly with his song
D C
Killing me softly with his song
G C
Telling my whole life with his words
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
With his song
[Verse 1]
Am7 D
I heard he sang a good song
G C
I heard he had a style
Am7 D
And so I came to see him
Em Em7
And listen for a while
Am7 D
And there he was this young boy
G B7
A stranger to my eyes
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D G
Singing my life with his words
Em A
Killing me softly with his song
D C
Killing me softly with his song
G C
Telling my whole life with his words
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
With his song
[Verse 2]
Am7 D
I felt all flushed with fever
G C
Embarassed by the crowd
Am7 D
I felt he found my letters
Em Em7
And read each one aloud
Am7 D
I prayed that he would finish
G B7
But he just kept right on
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D G
Singing my life with his words
Em A
Killing me softly with his song
D C
Killing me softly with his song
G C
Telling my whole life with his words
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
With his song
[Verse 3]
Am7 D
He sang as if he knew me
G C
In all my dark despair
Am7 D
And then he looked right through me
Em Em7
As if I wasn't there
Am7 D
And he just kept on singing
G B7
Singing clear and strong
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D G
Singing my life with his words
Em A
Killing me softly with his song
D C
Killing me softly with his song
G C
Telling my whole life with his words
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
With his song
[Bridge]
Em Am D G
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em A D C
La la la la la, la la, woh la
G C Fmaj7 E
Woh la, la la la la
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D G
Singing my life with his words
Em A
Killing me softly with his song
D C
Killing me softly with his song
G C
Telling my whole life with his words
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
With his song
