           Eb          Abmaj7
I heard he sang a good song  
        Db       Bbm7 
I heard he had a style
    Bbm  Eb              Fm                   
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
Bbm     Bbm7     Eb             Ab 
■   And there he was this young boy
           C7        
A stranger to my eyes
Fm                         Bbm

[Verse]
Bbm7   Ebsus4   Eb           Ab   
■    I felt all flushed with fever
Db                 Bbm  
Embarrassed by the crowd
                               Fm                Bbm7
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud


[Chorus]
              Eb             
I prayed that he would finish
Ab          C7           
But he just kept right on

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song
           Ab              Db       
Telling my whole life with his words

Killing me softly

With his song ■  


[Verse]
           Eb7        Ab
He sang as if he knew me
               Bbm7   
In all my dark despair
                                    Fm             Bbm  
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
    Bbm7    Bbm     Ab     
And he just kept on singing


[Chorus]
Ab                      
Singing clear and strong
Fm                         Bbm7   
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Eb                   Ab       
Singing my life with his words
