[Chorus]
S[Em]Strumming my pain with his[Am]his fingers.
[D7] singing my life with his[G] words.
K[Em]illing me softly with hi[A]s song.
Killing me soft[D]ly with h[C]is song.
Telling my [G]whole life with [C]his words.
Killing me [Fmaj7#11]softly, with his s[E]song.
[Verse]
[Am7]I heard he [D]sang the good song.
[G]I heard he [C]had a style.
[Am7]And so I ca[D]came to see him,
and [Em]listen for a while.
[Am7]And there he [D7]was a young boy
[G]a stranger [B7]to my eyes.
[Chorus]
S[Em]Strumming my pain with his[Am]his fingers.
[D7] singing my life with his[G] words.
K[Em]illing me softly with hi[A]s song.
Killing me soft[D]ly with h[C]is song.
Telling my [G]whole life with [C]his words.
Killing me [Fmaj7#11]softly, with his s[E]song.
[Verse]
[Am7]I felt all [D]flushed with fever
[G]embarrassed[C]embarrassed by the crowd.
[Am7]I felt he f[D]found my letters
and [Em]read each one out loud.
[Am7]I prayed that[D7]that he would finish
[G]but he just[B7]just kept right on.
[Chorus]
S[Em]Strumming my pain with his[Am]his fingers.
[D7] singing my life with his[G] words.
K[Em]illing me softly with hi[A]s song.
Killing me soft[D]ly with h[C]is song.
Telling my [G]whole life with [C]his words.
Killing me [Fmaj7#11]softly, with his s[E]song.
[Verse]
[Am7]He sang as [D]if he knew me
[G]in all my d[C]dark despair.
[Am7]And then he[D]he looked right through me
as i[Em]if I wasn't there.
[Am7]And he just k[D7]kept on singing
[G]singing cle[B7]clear and strong
[Chorus]
S[Em]Strumming my pain with his[Am]his fingers.
[D7] singing my life with his[G] words.
K[Em]illing me softly with hi[A]s song.
Killing me soft[D]ly with h[C]is song.
Telling my [G]whole life with [C]his words.
Killing me [Fmaj7#11]softly, with his s[E]song.
