[Verse 1]
Em Am
I heard she sang a good song
D G
I heard she had a style
Em Am A
And so I came to see her
Bm
To listen for a while
Em A
And there she was this young girl
D F#
A stranger to my eyes
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Strumming my pain with her fingers
A D
Singing my life with her words
Bm E
Killing me softy with her song
A G
Killing me softly, with her song
D G
Telling my whole life, with her words
C A C B B
Killing me softly, with her song
[Verse 2]
Em A
I felt all flushed with fever
D G
Embarrassed by the crowd
Em A
I felt she found my letters
Bm
And read each one out loud
Em A
I prayеd that she would finish
D F#
But she just kept right on
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Strumming my pain with her fingers
A D
Singing my life with her words
Bm E
Killing me softy with her song
A G
Killing me softly, with her song
D G
Telling my whole life, with her words
C A C B/C B
Killing me softly, with her song
[Verse 3]
Em A
She sang as if she knew me
D G
In all my darkness fair
Em A
And then she looked right through me
Bm B
As if I wasn't there
Em A
But she was there, the stranger
D F#
Singing clear and strong
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Strumming my pain with her fingers
A D
Singing my life with her words
Bm E
Killing me softy with her song
A G
Killing me softly, with her song
D G
Telling my whole life, with her words
C B B
Killing me softly, with her song
