Killing me softly

	  		   
Dm7              G  
    I heard he sang a good song  
C                F  
    I heard she had a style  
Dm7           G  
    And so I came to see him,  
         Am  
    and listen for a while  
Dm7                G7  
    And there he was this young boy  
C               E7  
    a stranger to my eyes. 

 Am                       Dm  
Strumming my pain with his fingers  
 G7                       C  
Singing my life with his words  
 Am                      D  
Killing me softly with his song  
              G        F  
Killing me softly with his song  
           C               F  
Telling my whole life with his words  
           Bb                A  
Killing me softly,  with his song  
 


 Dm7              G  
    I felt all flushed with fever  
C                F  
    embarrassed by the crowd.  
Dm7            G  
    I felt he found my letters  
         Am  
    and read each one out loud.  
Dm7                G7  
    I prayed that he would finish  
C                 E7  
    but he just kept right on.  
  
Dm7            G  
    He sang as if he knew me  
C              F  
    in all my dark despair.  
Dm7               G  
    And then he looked right through me  
       Am  
    as if I wasn't there.  
Dm7               G7  
    And he just kept on singing  
C                 E7  
    singing clear and strong  
  
            A4                A  
Killing me softly,  with her song
