Em                        Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
   D                     Gmaj7
Singing my life with his words.
   Em                      A7
Killing me softly with his song,
             D          C
Killing me softly with his song;
              Gmaj7          Cmaj7
telling my whole life, with his words,
           Fmaj7               E7
Killing me softly with his song.

Am7         D
I heard he sang a good song,
Gmaj7            Cmaj7
I heard he had a style,
Am7       D                    Em        Em7
And so I went to see him and listen for awhile.
Am7           D
And there he was this young boy
Gmaj7      B7
A stranger to my eyes.

Nak.

Am7        D
I felt all flushed with fever,
Gmaj7     Cmaj7
Embarassed by the crowd.
Am7         D
I felt he found my letters,
Em                    Em7
And read each one out loud.
Am7           D
I prayed that he would finish,
Gmaj7        B7
But he just kept right on.

Nak.

Am7        D
He sang as if he knew me,
Gmaj7     Cmaj7
In all my dark despair.
Am7            D
And then he looked right through me as if,
Em             Em7
As if I wasn't there.
Am7      D
He just kept right on,
Gmaj7    B7
Singin' loud and strong.
