Killing My Soflty(Chords)

	        


   Em                       Am 
Strumming my pain with his fingers 
 D                       G7M 
Singing my life with his words 
 Em                     A 
Killing me softly with his song 
            D              C 
Killing me softly with his song 
                  G           C 
Telling my whole life with his    words 
            F7M(11+)          E 
Killing me softly,  with his song

Verse 1:

Em/A 
      I heard he sang the good song 
G             C 
   I heard he had a style 
Am           D 
    And so I came to see him 
     Em 
And listen for a while 
Am               D 
    And there he was this young boy 
G             B7 
   A stranger to my eyes 



   Em                       Am 
Strumming my pain with his fingers 
 D                       G7M 
Singing my life with his words 
 Em                     A/C# 
Killing me softly with his song 
            D          C 
Killing me softly with his song 
             G             C 
Telling my whole life with his words 
            F7M(11+)          E 
Killing me softly,  with his song 

Pre-Chorus

Am7(9)              D 
        I felt all flushed with fever 
G          C 
   Embarrassed by the crowd 
Em            D 
   I felt he found my letters 
     Em 
And read each one out loud 
Am                D 
    I prayed that he would finish 
G              B7 
   But he just kept right on 



   Em                       Am 
Strumming my pain with his fingers 
 D                       G7M 
Singing my life with his words 
 Em                     A/C# 
Killing me softly with his song 
            D          C 
Killing me softly with his song 
             G             C 
Telling my whole life with his words 
            F7M(11+)          E 
Killing me softly,  with his song 

Pre-Chorus

Am7(9)            D 
        He sang as if he knew me 
G         C 
   In all my dark despair 
Em              D 
   And then he looked right through me 
   Em 
As if I wasn't there 
Am              D 
    And he just kept on singing 
G           B7 
   Singing clear and strong 



   Em                       Am 
Strumming my pain with his fingers 
 D                       G7M 
Singing my life with his words 
 Em                     A/C# 
Killing me softly with his song 
            D          C 
Killing me softly with his song 
             G             C 
Telling my whole life with his words 
            F7M(11+)          E 
Killing me softly,  with his song
