            Dm     G
I heard he sang a good song,
            Dm     F
I heard he had a style
          G                  Am
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
Dm            F        C
And there he was this young boy
Cmaj7       E7    
А stranger to my eyes…

Chorus:
   Am                       Dm
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
 G                        C
Singing my life with his words,
 Am                     Dm
Killing me softly with his song,
 Dm         G           F
Killing me softly with his song,
             C              G
Telling my whole life with his words
            B
Killing me softly
          A
With his song!

            Dm     G
I felt all flushed with fever 
            Dm     F
Embarrassed by the crowd,
          G                  Am
I felt heʼd found my letters and read each one out loud
Dm            F        C
I prayed that he would finish, 
Cmaj7       E7   
but he just kept right on

Chorus:
   Am                       Dm
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
 G                        C
Singing my life with his words,
 Am                     Dm
Killing me softly with his song,
 Dm         G           F
Killing me softly with his song,
             C              G
Telling my whole life with his words
            B
Killing me softly
          A
With his song!

            Dm     G
He sang as if he knew me
            Dm     F
In all my dark despair
          G                  Am
And then he looked right through me as if I wasnʼt there
Dm            F        C
But he was there, this stranger,
Cmaj7       E7  
Heʼs singing clear and loud

Chorus:
   Am                       Dm
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
 G                        C
Singing my life with his words,
 Am                     Dm
Killing me softly with his song,
 Dm         G           F
Killing me softly with his song,
             C              G
Telling my whole life with his words
            B
Killing me softly
          A
With his song!
