Killing Me Softly With his Song

Gimbel/Fox

Am 
I heard he  
D 
sang a good song,  
G 
I heard he  
C 
had a style
Am 
And so I  
D 
came to see him, to  
Em 
listen for a  
Em 
while
Am 
And there he  
D 
was this young boy,  
G 
a stranger  
B7 
to my eyes
Em 
Strumming my pain with his  
Am 
fingers, 
 
 
D 
Singing my life with his  
G 
words
Em 
Killing me softly with  
A 
his song, killing me  
D 
softly with his  
C 
song
 
Telling my  
G 
whole life with his  
C 
words, killing me  
Fmaj7 
softly
Fmaj7 
            with his  
E 
song
Am 
I felt all  
D 
flushed with fever,  
G 
embarassed 
 
 
C 
by the crowd
Am 
I felt he  
D 
found my letters and  
Em 
read each one out  
Em 
loud
Am 
I prayed that  
D 
he would finish,  
G 
but he just  
B7 
kept right on
chorus
Am 
He sang as  
D 
if he knew me,  
G 
in all my  
C 
dark 
 
despair
Am 
And then he  
D 
looked right through me as  
Em 
if I wasn't  
Em 
there
Am 
But he was  
D 
there this stranger,  
G 
singing 
 
 
B7 
clear and strong
chorus
