Killing Me Softly With his Song
Gimbel/Fox
Dm7
I heard he
G
sang a good song,
C
I heard he
F
had a style
Dm7
And so I
G
came to see him, to
Am
listen for a while
Dm7
And there he
G
was this young boy,
C
a stranger
E7
to my eyes
Chorus
Am
Strumming my pain with his
F
fingers,
G
Singing my life with his
C
words
Am
Killing me softly with
D/F#
his song, killing me
G
softly with his
F
song
Telling my
C
whole life with his
F
words, killing me so
Bb
ftly with his
A
song
Dm7
I felt all
G
flushed with fever,
C
embarassed
F
by the crowd
Dm7
I felt he
G
found my letters and
Am
read each one out loud
Dm7
I prayed that
G
he would finish,
C
but he just
E7
kept right on
chorus
Dm7
He sang as
G
if he knew me,
C
in all my
F
dark despair
Dm7
And then he
G
looked right through me as
Am
if I wasn't there
Dm7
But he was
G
there this stranger,
C
singing
E7
clear and strong
chorus
