Intro:  G#m C#m F# B G# C# F# E B E A G#   
(C#m F# (4x))  

C#m          F#                 B            E             
I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style.    
C#m       F#          G#m   
And so I came to see her and listen for a while.    
C#m           F#                   B           Eb7   
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.    

G#m                         C#m   
Strumming my pain with her fingers,    
F#                       B   
singing my life with her words,    
G#m                     C#   
killing me softly with her song,    
           F#           E   
killing me softly with her song,    
           B                   E   
telling my whole life with her words,    
           A               G#   
killing me softly with her song  
  

C#m         F#                 B            E             
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,    
C#m              F#          G#m   
I felt she found my letters and read each one out loud.    
C#m         F#                   B           Eb7   
I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on.    

G#m                         C#m   
Strumming my pain with her fingers,    
F#                       B   
singing my life with her words,    
G#m                     C#   
killing me softly with her song,    
           F#           E   
killing me softly with her song,    
           B                   E   
telling my whole life with her words,    
           A               G#   
killing me softly with her song   
 
    
C#m         F#             B         E             
She sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair    
C#m           F#                       G#m   
and then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there.    
C#m      F#                       B        Eb7   
But she was there the strangers, singing clear and strong.    
    
G#m                         C#m   
Strumming my pain with her fingers,    
F#                       B   
singing my life with her words,    
G#m                     C#   
killing me softly with her song,    
           F#           E   
killing me softly with her song,    
           B                   E   
telling my whole life with her words,    
           A               G#   
killing me softly with her song
