Killing Me Softly With Her Song by Perry Como 




   Killing Me Softly With Her Song 






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 . . .
