[Chorus]
Em                         Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                        G
Singing my life with his words
Em                     A
Killing me softly with his song
           D           C
Killing me softly with his song
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words
           Fmaj7
Killing me softly
         E
With his song


[Verse 1]
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           Em7
   And listen for a while
Am7             D
   And there he was this young boy
G             B7
   A stranger to my eyes


[Chorus]
Em                         Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                        G
Singing my life with his words
Em                     A
Killing me softly with his song
           D           C
Killing me softly with his song
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words
           Fmaj7
Killing me softly
         E
With his song


[Verse 2]
Am7           D
   I felt all flushed with fever
G             C
   Embarassed by the crowd
Am7          D
   I felt he found my letters
       Em             Em7
   And read each one aloud
Am7              D
   I prayed that he would finish
G              B7
   But he just kept right on


[Chorus]
Em                         Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                        G
Singing my life with his words
Em                     A
Killing me softly with his song
           D           C
Killing me softly with his song
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words
           Fmaj7
Killing me softly
         E
With his song


[Verse 3]
Am7           D
   He sang as if he knew me
G            C
   In all my dark despair
Am7            D
   And then he looked right through me
      Em          Em7
   As if I wasn't there
Am7            D
   And he just kept on singing
G          B7
   Singing clear and strong


[Chorus]
Em                         Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                        G
Singing my life with his words
Em                     A
Killing me softly with his song
           D           C
Killing me softly with his song
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words
           Fmaj7
Killing me softly
         E
With his song


[Bridge]
Em    Am           D        G
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em              A      D   C
La la la la la, la la, woh la
G   C   Fmaj7 E
Woh la, la la la la


[Chorus]
Em                         Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                        G
Singing my life with his words
Em                     A
Killing me softly with his song
           D           C
Killing me softly with his song
           G               C
Telling my whole life with his words
           Fmaj7
Killing me softly
         E
With his song
