[Chorus]

Em                                             Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers.
D7                                    G
singing my life with his words.
Em                                  Am 
Killing me softly with his song.
                      D                G
Killing me softly with his song
                   G                    C
Telling my whole life with his words.
              Fmaj7#11            E
Killing me softly, with his song.

[Verse]

Am7            D
I heard he sang the 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 a young boy
G                 B7
a stranger to my eyes.

[Kembali ke Chorus]

[Verse]

Am7           D
I felt all flushed with fever
G                  C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7            D
I felt he found my letters
Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7             D7
I prayed that he would finish
G                   B7
but he just kept right on.
