KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONG    (Roberta Flack)



Dm7             G                C             F
    I heard he sang a good song,   I heard he had a style
Dm7           G                   Am        
    And so I came to see him, to listen for a while
Dm7               G                  C            E7
    And there he was this young boy,   a stranger to my eyes


 Am                         F        G                        C
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Am                    D7/F#                  G               F
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
            C                    F                Bb              A
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song


Dm7             G                 C            F
    I felt all flushed with fever,  embarassed by the crowd
Dm7             G                   Am
    I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
Dm7               G                C             E7
    I prayed that he would finish,   but he just kept right on


CHORUS


Dm7            G             C           F
   He sang as if he knew me,  in all my dark despair
Dm7             G                         Am
   And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
Dm7            G                   C          E7
   But he was there this stranger,   singing clear and strong


CHORUS
