Refrain:
Em                         Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7                       G
Singing my life with his words
Em                      A
Killing me softly with his song
           D
Killing me softly with his song
           G
Telling my whole life with his words.
          F
Killing me softly
         E
with his song.

Verse1:
Am7        D
I heard he sang a good song
G          C
I heard he had a style
Am7        D
And so I came to see him
    Em
and listen for a while.
Am7          D7
And there was this young boy
G          B7
a stranger to my eyes.

Verse2:
I felt all flushed with fever
embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters
and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on.

Refrain

Verse3:
He sang as if he knew me
in all my dark despair.
And the he looked right trough me
as if I wasn?t there.
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong.
