Killing Me Softly 


Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7                           G
singing my life with his words
Em                      A
killing me softly with his song
               D           C
killing me softly with his song
           G                   C
telling my whole life with his words.
               Esus4
Killing me softly
             E
with his song.

Am7          D
I heard he sang a 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 this young boy
G          D7
a stranger to my eyes.

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7                           G
singing my life with his words
Em                      A
killing me softly with his song
               D           C
killing me softly with his song
           G                   C
telling my whole life with his words.
               Esus4
Killing me softly
             E
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           D7
but he just kept right on.

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7                           G
singing my life with his words
Em                      A
killing me softly with his song
               D           C
killing me softly with his song
           G                   C
telling my whole life with his words.
               Esus4
Killing me softly
             E
with his song.

Am7        D
He sang as if he knew me
G          C
in all my dark despair.
Am7          D
And then he looked right through me
   Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7          D7
And he just kept on singing
G             D7
singing clear and strong.

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7                           G
singing my life with his words
Em                      A
killing me softly with his song
               D           C
killing me softly with his song
           G                   C
telling my whole life with his words.
               Esus4
Killing me softly
             E
with his song.
