Killing me softly

Roberta Flack

Chorus:

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 C

killing me softly with his song

G C

telling my whole life with his words.

Esus4

Killing me softly

E

with his song.

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 he was this young boy

G H7

a stranger to my eyes.

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)

He sang as if he knew me

in all my dark despair.

And then he looked right through me

as if I wasn't there.

And he just kept on singing

singing clear and strong.

(Chorus)
