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 E
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 he´d found my letters and read each one out loud
Dm F C
I prayed that he would finish,
Cmaj7 E
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 wasn´t there
Dm F C
But he was there, this stranger,
Cmaj7 E
He´s 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!
