Killing me softly (Roberta Flack)

INTRO:  Am    F    G    C     Am    D/F#
        G     F    C    F     Bb    A

VERSE 1
Dm7               G          C
I heard he sang a good song
                 F           Dm7
I heard he had a style
                 G           Am                 
And so I came to see him and listen for 
  Dm7
awhile
                      G            C
And there he was this young boy
              E
A stranger to my eyes...

CHORUS
Am                            F
Strumming my pain with his fingers
G                             C
Singing my life with his words
Am                        D/F#
Killing me softly with his song
               G           F
Killing me softly with his song
           C                  F
Telling my whole life with his words
              Bb             A
Killing me softly   With his song

VERSE 2
Dm7     G                C
I felt all flushed with fever
               F                 Dm7
embarrassed by the crowd.
            G             Am                       
I felt he found my letters and read 
              Dm7
each one out loud.
                   G            C
I prayed that he would finish
                 E
but he just kept right on.

CHORUS
Am                            F
Strumming my pain with his fingers
G                             C
Singing my life with his words
Am                        D/F#
Killing me softly with his song
               G           F
Killing me softly with his song
           C                  F
Telling my whole life with his words
              Bb              A
Killing me softly   With his song

CHORUS
Am                            F
Strumming my pain with his fingers
G                             C
Singing my life with his words
Am                        D/F#
               G           F
Killing me softly with his song
           C                  F
Telling my whole life with his words
              Bb              A
Killing me softly    With his song

VERSE 3
Dm7           G     C
He sang as if he knew me
               F         Dm7
in all my dark despair.
                  G                Am
And then he looked right through me
             Dm7
as if I wasn't there.
                  G          C
And he just kept on singing
             E
singing clear and strong.

CHORUS/OUT-TRO:
Am                            F
Strumming my pain with his fingers
G                             C
Singing my life with his words
Am                        D(with F# on E string)
Killing me softly with his song
               G           F
Killing me softly with his song
           C                  F
Telling my whole life with his words
              Bb      A     G     A
Killing me softly    With his song
