 Em                       Am        D7                       G
Strumming my pain with my fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 G                      A                       D        C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words.
            Esus4             E
Killing me softly,  with his song.
Am7            D
    I heard he sang the good song.
G              C
    I heard he had a style.
Am7           D
    And so I came to see him,
        Em
    and listen for a while.
Am7              D7
    And there he was a young boy
G             B7
   a stranger to my eyes.
   Em                       Am        D7                       G
Strumming my pain with my fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 G                      A                       D        C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words.
            Esus4             E
Killing me softly,  with his song.
Am7            D
I felt all flushed with fever
G              C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7            D
I felt he found my letters
        Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7               D7
I prayed that he would finish
G              B7
but he just kept right on.
  Em                       Am        D7                       G
Strumming my pain with my fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 G                      A                       D        C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words.
