Strumming my pain with my fingers,  singing my life with his words.

 Em7                     A7                       D      Cmj7
Killing me softly with his song,  Killing me softly, with his song,

           Gmj7           Cmj7          Fmaj7-5            E 
Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly,  with his song.

Am7         D7/9             Gmj7         Cmaj7
 I heard he sang the good song, I heard he had a style,

Am7         D7/9               Em7
 And so I came to see him, and listen for a while. 

Am7                   D7/9        Gmj7           H7
 And there he was a young boy   a stranger to my eyes.



3. Refrain
Strumming my pain...


4. Vers2:
Am7         D7/9             Gmj7        Cmaj7
I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd.

Am7         D7/9               Em7
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.

Am7           D7/9          Gmj7           H7
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.
 

5. Refrain
Strumming my pain...


6. Vers3:
Am7         D7/9         Gmj7        Cmaj7
He sang as if knew me  in all my dark despair.

Am7         D7/9                       Em7
And then he looked right through me  as if I wasn't there.

Am7          D7/9            Gmj7           H7
And he just kept on singing   singing clear and strong.
        
7. Refrain
Strumming my pain...
