Key: :[E] (w: Charles Fox, Norman Gimbel) (Fugees, 1996)

CHORUS:
[F#m7] Strumming my pain with her [Bm7] fingers
[E] Singing my life with her [A] words,
[F#m7] Killing me softly with [Bm7] her song,
Killing me [E] softly with [D] her song,
Telling my [A] whole life with [D] her words,
Killing me [F#sus4] softly, with her [F# open] song.

VERSE 1:
[Bm7] I heard she [E] sang a good song, [A] I heard she [D] had a style
[Bm7] and so I [E] came to see her, and [F#m7] listen for a while.
[Bm7] And there she [E] was this young girl, [A] a stranger [C#7] to my eyes.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 2:
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt she found my letters, and read each one out loud.
I prayed that she would finish, but she just kept right on.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
She sang as if she knew me, in all my dark despair.
And then she looked right through me, as if I wasn't there.
And she just kept on singing, singing clear and strong
