I heard she sang a good song, I heards He 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 F# B
Strumming my pain with her fingers, singing my life with her words
G#m C# F# E
Killing me softly with her song, killing me softly with her song

Telling my whole life with her words, killing me softly with her song
