EmStrumming my pain with his Am7fingers
D7Singing my life with his Gwords
EmKilling me softly with his A7song
Killing me soDftly with his Csong
Telling my whoGle life with his Cwords
Killing me Fsoftly with his Esong
Am7I heard he Dsang a good song
GI heard he Chad a style
Am7And so I Dcame to see him
EmAnd listen for a while
Am7And there he D7was this young boy
GA stranger B7to my eyes
EmStrumming my pain with his Am7fingers
D7Singing my life with his Gwords
EmKilling me softly with his A7song
Killing me soDftly with his Csong
Telling my whoGle life with his Cwords
Killing me Fsoftly with his Esong
Am7I felt all fluDshed with fever
GEmbarrassed bCy the crowd
Am7I felt he foDund my letters
And Emread each one out loud
Am7I prayed that hD7e would finish
GBut he just B7kept right on
