Tom: Dm
Dm7 G
I heard she sang the good song
C F
I heard she had a style
Dm7 G
And so I came to see her,
Am
and listen for a while
Dm7 G7
And there she was is younger
C E7
a stranger to my eyes.
---------------[ Refr?o ]---------------------
Am Dm
Strumming my pain with her fingers
G7 C
Singing my life with her words
Am D
Killing me softly with her song
G F
Killing me softly with her song
C F
Telling my whole life with her words
A4 A
Killing me softly, with her song
---------------------------------------------
Dm7 G
I felt all flushed with fever
C F
embarrassed by the crowd.
Dm7 G
I felt she found my letters
Am
and read each one out loud.
Dm7 G7
I prayed that she would finish
C E7
but she just kept right on.
(Refr?o)
Dm7 G
She sang as if she knew me
C F
in all my dark despair.
Dm7 G
And then she looked right through me
Am
as if I wasn't there.
Dm7 G7
And she just kept on singing
C E7
singing clear and strong
(Refr?o)
A4 A
Killing me softly, with her song
