Roberta Flack, Killing Me Softly With His Song (1973)
Key: :[D#] (w: Charles Fox, Norman Gimbel) (Fugees, 1996)
CHORUS:
[Fm7] Strumming my pain with her
[A#m7] fingers
[D#] Singing my life with her
[G#] words,
[Fm7] Killing me softly with
[A#m7] her song,
Killing me
[D#] softly with
[C#] her song,
Telling my
[G#] whole life with
[C#] her words,
Killing me
[Fsus4] softly, with her
[F open] song.
VERSE 1:
[A#m7] I heard she
[D#] sang a good song,
[G#] I heard she
[C#] had a style
[A#m7] and so I
[D#] came to see her, and
[Fm7] listen for a while.
[A#m7] And there she
[D#] was this young girl,
[G#] a stranger
[C7] 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.
