Killing me softly with his song

       Am Dm 
       Strumming my pain with his fingers 
       G C C - C/B 
       Singing my life with his words 
       Am D 
       Killing me softly with his song 
       G F 
       Killing me softly with his song 
       C F 
       Telling my whole life with his words 
       Dm A Dm 
       Killing me softly with his song 

       G C C/B Am Dm 
       I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style 
       G C C/B Am Dm 
       And so I came to see him and listen for a while 
       G C E 
       And there he was his young boy a stranger to my eyes 
       (repeat *) 

       G C C/B Am Dm 
       I fell all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd 
       G C C/B Am Dm 
       I fell he found my letter and read each one out loud 
       G C E 
       I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on 
       (repeat *) 

       G C C/B Am Dm 
       He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair 
       G C C/B Am Dm 
       And then he look right through me as if I wasn't there 
       G C E 
       And he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong 
       (repeat *)
