   I heard he sang- a good song.   I heard he had- a style.      
Am7             D                Em                 Em            
   And so I came- to see him, to lis-ten for a while.          
Am7               D7                 G              B7
   And there he was-  this young boy    a stranger to- my eyes-^

   Em                         A/C#                     D

           C                        G                  C
   with his- song. Telling my whole- life--   with his- words

[Verse]
Am7                  D            G                C     
   I felt all flushed- with fe-ver   embarrassed by- the crowd.
Am7               D                  Em                      Em  
   I felt he found- my let-ters  and read- each one out loud.
Am7               D7             G                  B7
   I prayed that he- would finish    but he just kept- right on-^

   Strumming my pain- with his fin-gers.  singing my life- with his words-
   Em                         A/C#                     D    
   Killing me so-ftly with his-  song. Killing me soft-ly-  
           C                        G                  C
   with his- song. Telling my whole- life--   with his- words
                    F                        E    E    Esus  E

Am7             D        G                C

Am7                 D                       Em                Em   
   And then he looked- right through me  as if I wasn't there.
Am7               D7           G               B7
   And he just kept- on singing    singing clear- and strong-^
