[intro]
G#m C#m F# B G# C# F# E B E A G#
C#m F# x4

[verse]
C#m          F#                 B            E
I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style.
C#m       F#          G#m
And so I came to see her and listen for a while.
C#m           F#                   B           Eb7
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.

[chorus]
G#m                         C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
F#                       B
singing my life with her words,
G#m                     C#
killing me softly with her song,
           F#           E
killing me softly with her song,
           B                   E
telling my whole life with her words,
           A               G#
killing me softly with her song

[verse]
C#m         F#                 B            E
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
C#m              F#          G#m
I felt she found my letters and read each one out loud.
C#m         F#                   B           Eb7
I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on.

[chorus]
G#m                         C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
F#                       B
singing my life with her words,
G#m                     C#
killing me softly with her song,
           F#           E
killing me softly with her song,
           B                   E
telling my whole life with her words,
           A               G#
killing me softly with her song

[verse]
C#m         F#             B         E
She sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
C#m           F#                       G#m
and then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
C#m      F#                       B        Eb7
But she was there the strangers, singing clear and strong.

[chorus]
G#m                         C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
F#                       B
singing my life with her words,
G#m                     C#
killing me softly with her song,
           F#           E
killing me softly with her song,
           B                   E
telling my whole life with her words,
           A               G#
killing me softly with her song

[solo]
