Killing Me Softly (1973)

Capo 1re fret (en F)

  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               C6
  Telling my whole life with his words
             F/A             E
  Killing me softly with his song

D7(sus4)/A  ^b ^b  x 4

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 this young boy
G          B7
A stranger to my eyes

  Refrain

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

He sang as if 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

  Refrain

  Oh, la la la, oh oh, ...         (Fugees: f e f e f e)

  Refrain      (pause)

  He was strumming my pain
  Yeah, he was singing my life
  Killing me softly with his song
  Killing me softly with his song
  Telling my whole life with his words
  Killing me softly with his song

(Fugees: en E)
