Esus4: 02220x Capo 1
(CHORUS) [Em] Strumming my pain with his [Am] fingers.
[D7] singing my life with his [G] words.
[G] Killing me softly with [A] his song. Killing me [D] softly with [C] his song.
Telling my [G] whole life with [C] his words.
Killing me [Esus4] softly, with his [E] song.
I heard he sang the good song. Am7 D
I heard he had a style. G C
And so I came to see him, Am7 D
and listen for a while. Em
And there he was a young boy Am7 D7
a stranger to my eyes. G B7
(CHORUS) [Em] Strumming my pain with his [Am] fingers.
[D7] singing my life with his [G] words.
[G] Killing me softly with [A] his song. Killing me [D] softly with [C] his song.
Telling my [G] whole life with [C] his words.
Killing me [Esus4] softly, with his [E] song.
I felt all flushed with fever Am7 D
embarrassed by the crowd. G C
I felt he found my letters Am7 D
and read each one out loud. Em
I prayed that he would finish Am7 D7
but he just kept right on. G B7
(CHORUS) [Em] Strumming my pain with his [Am] fingers.
[D7] singing my life with his [G]words.
[G] Killing me softly with [A] his song. Killing me [D] softly with [C] his song.
Telling my [G] whole life with [C] his words.
Killing me [Esus4] softly, with his [E] song.
He sang as if knew me Am7 D
in all my dark despair. G C
And then he looked right through me Am7 D
as if I wasn’t there. Em
And he just kept on singing Am7 D7
singing clear and strong G B7
(CHORUS) [Em] Strumming my pain with his [Am] fingers. [D7] singing my life with his [G] words.
[G] Killing me softly with [A] his song. Killing me [D] softly with [C] his song.
Telling my [G] whole life with [C] his words.
Killing me [Esus4] softly, with his [E] song.
