F                        B7        E4                       
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words
Em                     F                        Am7         E
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song
           D               
Telling my whole life with his words
            F7             D
Killing me softly,  with his song

            D
    I heard he sang the good song
Em              C
    I heard he had a style
E           
    And so I came to see him
        Em
    And listen for a while
D              C
    And there he was a young boy
E             F
   A stranger to my eyes

C                        E4                               G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words
C7                     F                        B7         E4
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song
                          C
Telling my whole life with his words
            F                Am7
Killing me softly,  with his song

E            D
    I felt all flushed with fever
               C
    Embarrassed by the crowd
D           G
    I felt he found my letters
        Em
    And read each one out loud
C               E
    I prayed that he would finish
               B7
    But he just kept right on


D                        C        E                       F
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words
C                     E4                                 C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song
           C7               F
Telling my whole life with his words
            B7                E4
Killing me softly,  with his song

            D
    He sang as if knew me
F              Am7
    In all my dark despair
E              D
    And then he looked right through me
       
    As if I wasn't there
Am7             D
    And he just kept on singing
G             Em
    Singing clear and strong

C                        E                               G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words
D                     C                        E         F
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song
           C               E4
Telling my whole life with his words
                            E
Killing me softly,  with his song
