Lyrics

[Chorus]
Em7                           Am7
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                             G
Singing my life with his words
Em7                       A/C#
Killing me softly with his    song
              D           C
Killing me softly with his song
                G             C
Telling my whole life with his words
          Fmaj7                    E Am7
Killing me     softly with his song

[Verse 1]
Am7
           D7sus2
I heard he sang  a good song,
G        Cmaj7         Am7
 I heard he   had a style
       D7sus2            Em7
And so I     came to see him,
                     Am7
to listen for a while
          D7                G
And there he was, this young boy,
       B7
a stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]
Em7                           Am7
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                             G
Singing my life with his words
Em7                       A/C#
Killing me softly with his    song
              D           C
Killing me softly with his song
              G               C
Telling my whole life with his words
          Fmaj7                    E
Killing me     softly with his song

[Verse 2]
Am7          D7sus2
   I felt all      flushed with fever,
G            Cmaj7
 embarrassed by   the crowd
Am7              D7sus2               Em7
   I felt he'd found   my letters and read each one out
loud
Am7                D7
   I prayed that he  would finish,
G                B7
 but he just kept  right on

[Chorus]
Em7                           Am7
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                             G
Singing my life with his words
Em7                       A/C#
Killing me softly with his    song
              D           C
Killing me softly with his song
              G               C
Telling my whole life with his words
          Fmaj7                    E
Killing me     softly with his song
