[Verse]
Am7            D
   I heard she sang a good song, 
G              C
   I heard she had a style, 
Am7           D
   And so I came to see her, 
        Em
   To listen for a while . . .
Am7              D7
   And there she was this young girl, 
G             B7
   A stranger to my eyes . . .

[Chorus]
 Em                       Am
Strummin' my pain with her fingers, 
 D7                       G
Singin' my life with her words, 
 Em                      A
Killing me softly with her song, 
              D        C
Killing me softly, with her song, 
           G               C
Telling my whole life with her words, 
           Fmaj7b5            E
Killing me softly, with her song

[Verse]
Am7            D
I felt all flushed with fever, 
G              C
Embarrassed by the crowd, 
Am7           D
I felt she found my letters, 
        Em
And read each one aloud . . .
Am7              D7
I prayed that she would finish, 
G             B7
But she just kept right on . . .

[Chorus]
 Em                       Am
Strummin' my pain with her fingers, 
 D7                       G
Singin' my life with her words, 
 Em                      A
Killing me softly with her song, 
              D        C
Killing me softly, with her song, 
           G               C
Telling my whole life with her words, 
           Fmaj7b5            E
Killing me softly, with her song

Am7            D
She sang as if she knew me, 
G              C
In all my dark despair, 
Am7           D
And then she looked right through me, 
        Em  
As if I wasn't there . . .
Am7              D7
But she was there, this stranger,
G             B7
Singing clear and strong . . .

[Chorus]
 Em                       Am
Strummin' my pain with her fingers, 
 D7                       G
Singin' my life with her words, 
 Em                      A
Killing me softly with her song, 
              D        C
Killing me softly, with her song, 
           G               C
Telling my whole life with her words,
           Fmaj7b5            E
Killing me softly, with her song
            Fmaj7b5          E
Killing me softly, with her song . . .
