[Chorus]
 Em                       Am        D7                       Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 Em                        A7                  D              C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G                    C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
            Fmaj7b5            E
Killing me softly,  with his song.      
[Verse]                                      
Am7        D7
I heard he sang a good song.    
Gmaj7       C
I heard he had a style.      
Am7        D7
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.
[Chorus]
 Em                       Am        D7                       Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 Em                        A7                  D              C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G                    C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
            Fmaj7b5            E
Killing me softly,  with his song. 
[Verse]
Am7        D7
I felt all flushed with fever 
Gmaj7       C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7        D7
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.
[Chorus]
 Em                       Am        D7                       Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 Em                        A7                  D              C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G                    C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
            Fmaj7b5            E
Killing me softly,  with his song. 
[Verse]
Am7        D7
He sang as if knew me 
Gmaj7       C
in all my dark despair.
Am7           D7
And then he looked right through me
   Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7          D7
And he just kept on singing 
G          B7
sining clear and strong
[Chorus]
 Em                       Am        D7                       Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 Em                        A7                  D              C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G                    C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
            Fmaj7b5            E
Killing me softly,  with his song.
