[C#m]           [F#]
I heard she sang a good song,..
[B]            [E]
I heard she had a style!
[C#m]        [F#]
And so I came to see her
[G#m]
And listen for a while!
[C#m]             [F#]
And there she was this young girl,..
[B]              [G#m]
A  stranger to my eyes!

[G#m]                           [C#m]
Strumming my pain with her fingers,..
[F#]                         [B]
Singing my life with her words,..
[G#m]                      [C#m]
Killing me softly with her song,..
[F#]           [E]
Killing me softly with her song,..
[B]                [E]
Telling my whole life with her words,..
[A]         [G#m]
Killing me softly  With her song

[C#m]           [F#]
I felt all flushed with fever,..
[B]            [E]
Embarrassed by the crowd,..
[C#m]         [F#]
I felt she found my letters
[G#m]
And read each one out loud!
[C#m]             [F#]
I prayed that she would finish
[B]                  [G#m]
But she just kept right on!

[G#m]                           [C#m]
Strumming my pain with her fingers,..
[F#]                         [B]
Singing my life with her words,..
[G#m]                      [C#m]
Killing me softly with her song,..
[F#]           [E]
Killing me softly with her song,..
[B]                [E]
Telling my whole life with her words,..
[A]         [G#m]
Killing me softly  With her song

[C#m]          [F#m]
She sang as if she knew me
[B]          [E]
In all my dark despair
[C#m]           [F#]
And then she looked right through me
[G#m]
As if I wasnt there!
[C#m]            [F#]
But she just came to singing,..
[B]               [G#m]
Singing clear and strong!
[G#m]                           [C#m]
Strumming my pain with her fingers,..
[F#]                         [B]
Singing my life with her words,..
[G#m]                      [C#m]
Killing me softly with her song,..
[F#]           [E]
Killing me softly with her song,..
[B]                [E]
Telling my whole life with her words,..
[A]         [G#m]
Killing me softly  With her song
