Tom: Dm
D5 G5
I heard she sang the good song
C5 F5
I heard she had a style
D5 G5
And so I came to see her,
A5
and listen for a while
D5 G5
And there she was is younger
C5 E5
a stranger to my eyes.
---------------[ Refr?o ]---------------------
A5 Dm
Strumming my pain with her fingers
G5 C5
Singing my life with her words
A5 D5
Killing me softly with her song
G5 F5
Killing me softly with her song
C5 F5
Telling my whole life with her words
A5 A5
Killing me softly, with her song
---------------------------------------------
D5 G5
I felt all flushed with fever
C5 F5
embarrassed by the crowd.
D5 G5
I felt she found my letters
A5
and read each one out loud.
D5 G5
I prayed that she would finish
C5 E5
but she just kept right on.
(Refr?o)
D5 G5
She sang as if she knew me
C5 F5
in all my dark despair.
D5 G5
And then she looked right through me
A5
as if I wasn't there.
D5 G5
And she just kept on singing
C5 E5
singing clear and strong
(Refr?o)
A5 A5
Killing me softly, with her song
