Killing Me Softly With His Song (CHORDS) by 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!
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
with his song!
[Instrumental Break]~
Am7 D - Am7 D - Am7 D - Am7 D
[Verse]~
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 B7
a stranger to my eyes!
[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!
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
with his song!
[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!
[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!
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
with his song!
[Verse]~
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
as if I wasn't there!
Am7 D7
And he just kept on singing
G B7
singing clear and strong!
