Killing Me Softly With Her Song chords by Perry Como

Am7            D
   I heard she sang a good song,
G              C
   I heard she had a style,
Am7           D
   And so I came to see her,
        Em
   To listen for a while . . .
Am7              D7
   And there she was this young girl,
G             B7
   A stranger to my eyes . . .

 Em                       Am
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
 D7                       G
Singin' my life with her words,
 G                      A
Killing me softly with her song,
              D        C
Killing me softly, with her song,
           G               C
Telling my whole life with her words,
            Esus4             E
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Am7            D
I felt all flushed with fever,
G              C
Embarrassed by the crowd,
Am7           D
I felt she found my letters,
        Em
And read each one aloud . . .
Am7              D7
I prayed that she would finish,
G             B7
But she just kept right on . . .

 Em                       Am
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
 D7                       G
Singin' my life with her words,
 G                      A
Killing me softly with her song,
              D        C
Killing me softly, with her song,
           G               C
Telling my whole life with her words,
            Esus4             E
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Am7            D
She sang as if she knew me,
G              C
In all my dark despair,
Am7           D
And then she looked right through me,
        Em
As if I wasn't there . . .
Am7              D7
But she was there, this stranger,
G             B7
Singing clear and strong . . .

 Em                       Am
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
 D7                       G
Singin' my life with her words,
 G                      A
Killing me softly with her song,
              D        C
Killing me softly, with her song,
           G               C
Telling my whole life with her words,
            Esus4             E
Killing me softly, with her song . . .
            Esus4             E
Killing me softly, with her song . . .
