       (CHORUS)
 Em                        Am        D7                       G
Strumming my pain with his fingers.  singing my life with his words.
 Em                      A                       D        C
Killing me softly with his song.  Killing me softly with his song.
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words.
            F             E
Killing me softly,  with his song.      
                                        G:  320033
Am7        D                            A:  x02220
I heard he sang the good song.          Am: x02210 
G          C                            B7: x21202
I heard he had a style.                 C:  x32010
Am7      D                              D:  xx0232
And so I came to see him,               D7: xx0212
    Em                                  Am7: x02010
and listen for a while.                 Em: 02200x
Am7              D7                     E:  022100
 And there he was a young boy            F: xx3211
G             B7
a stranger to my eyes.

    (CHORUS)
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             B7
but he just kept right on.
    (CHORUS)

    (CHORUS)
Am7            D  
He sang as if 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             B7
sining clear and strong

    (CHORUS)
