Killing Me Softly [Em]
Roberta Flack
Chorus:
[Em] Strumming my pain with his [Am] fingers
[D] Singing my life with his [G] words
[Em] Killing me softly with [A] his song
Killing me [D] softly with [C] his song
Telling my [G] whole life with [C] his words
Killing me [F] softly... with his [E7]song
[Am] [D] [Am] [D] x2
[Am] I heard he [D] sang a good song
[G] I heard he [C] had a style
[Am] And so I [D] came to see him and [Em] listen for a while
[Am] And there he [D] was this young boy
[G] A stranger [B7] to my eyes
Chorus:
[Am] I felt all [D] flushed with fever
[G] Embarrassed [C] by the crowd
[Am] I felt he [D] found my letters and [Em] read each one out loud
[Am] I prayed that [D] he would finish
[G] But he just [B7] kept right on
Chorus:
[Am] He sang as [D] if he knew me
[G] In all my [C] dark despair
[Am] And then he [D] looked right through me as [Em] if I wasn’t there
[Am] And he just [D] kept on singing
[G] Singing [B7] clear and strong...
Chorus: x2
