[Chorus 1]

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fin-gers,
D                        G
Singing my life with his words,
Em                      A
Killing me softly with his song,
           D            C
Killing me soft-ly with his song,
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words,
           F               E
Killing me softly with his song.

[Verse 1]

Am                     D
     I heard he sang a good song,
G                        C
     I heard he had a smile,
Am                  D
     And so i came to see him
         Em
And listen for a while.
Am                        D
     And there he was, this young boy,
G                     (B7)
      A stranger to my eyes.


[Chorus 2]

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fin-gers,
D                        G
Singing my life with his words,
Em                      A
Killing me softly with his song,
           D            C
Killing me soft-ly with his song,
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words,
           F               E
Killing me softly with his song.



[Verse 2]

Am       D                            G
     I felt all flushed with fever,
                      C
Embarrassed by the crowd,
Am               D
     I felt he found a letters
        Em
And read each one out loud.
Am                 D
I prayed that he would finish,
G                       (B7)
    But he just kept right on...


[Chorus 3]

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fin-gers,
D                        G
Singing my life with his words,
Em                      A
Killing me softly with his song,
           D            C
Killing me soft-ly with his song,
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words,
           F               E
Killing me softly with his song.


[Middle]

Em      Am              D        G
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em              A
La la la la la  la,
D       C        G      C    F    E
Woh la,  woh la, la la la la.


[Chorus 4]

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fin-gers,
D                        G
Singing my life with his words,
Em                      A
Killing me softly with his song,
           D            C
Killing me soft-ly with his song,
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words,
           F               E
Killing me softly with his song.
