Chords with lyrics

Am7Am7      D MajorD
  I heard she sang a good song,
G+G       C majorC
  I heard she had a style,
Am7Am7      D MajorD
  And so I came to see her,
    E minorEm
  To listen for a while . . .
Am7Am7       D7D7
  And there she was this young girl,
G+G       B7B7
  A augmentedA stranger to my eyes . . .

 E minorEm            A minorAm
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
 D7D7            G+G
Singin' my life with her words,
 G+G           A augmentedA
Killing me softly with her song,
       D MajorD    C majorC
Killing me softly, with her song,
      G+G        C majorC
Telling my whole life with her words,

Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Am7Am7      D MajorD
I felt all flushed with fever,
G+G       C majorC
Embarrassed by the crowd,
Am7Am7      D MajorD
I felt she found my letters,
    E minorEm
And read each one aloud . . .
Am7Am7       D7D7
I prayed that she would finish,
G+G       B7B7
But she just kept right on . . .

 E minorEm            A minorAm
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
 D7D7            G+G
Singin' my life with her words,

Killing me softly with her song,

Telling my whole life with her words,

Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Am7Am7      D MajorD
She sang as if she knew me,
G+G       C majorC
In all my dark despair,
Am7Am7      D MajorD
And then she looked right through me,
    E minorEm
As if I wasn't there . . .

But she was there, this stranger,

Singing clear and strong . . .
