Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly Chords

(Capo 1st fret)

       Em                         Am      D                        G
       Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words
       Em                     A                   D           C
       Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
                  G               C                 F                  E (hold)
       Telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song

(Interlude)  Dsus2 (4x)

    Am            D                G            C
       I heard he sang a good song   I heard he had a style
    Am          D                  Em
       And so I came to see him to listen for a while
    Am              D                   G            B7
       And there he was, this young boy   a stranger to my eyes

(Chorus)

       Em                         Am      D                        G
       Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words
       Em                     A                   D           C
       Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
                  G               C                 F                  E (hold)
       Telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song


    Am            D                  G             C                       
       I felt all flushed with fever   Embarrassed by the crowd
    Am           D                    Em
       I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
    Am               D               G             B7
       I prayed that he would finish   but he just kept right on

(Chorus) 

       Em                         Am      D                        G
       Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words
       Em                     A                   D           C
       Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
                  G               C                 F                  E (hold)
       Telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song

    Am            D             G           C     
       He sang as if he knew me   in all my dark despair
    Am             D                          Em
       But then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
    Am             D               G         B7
       And he just kept on singing   singing clear and strong

(Chorus)
   
       Em                         Am      D                        G
       Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words
       Em                     A                   D           C
       Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
                  G               C                 F                  E (hold)
       Telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song
  
    Em     Am    D               G
       Oh, oh... oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
       Em              A
       La, la, la, la, la, la, oh
       D       C  G      C    F    E (hold)
       Oh, oh, oh la.....ah....... la...ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

(Chorus)

       Em                         Am      D                        G
       Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words
       Em                     A                   D           C
       Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
                  G               C                 F    E (hold)
       Telling my whole life with his words killing me....


(Outro)

              Em                Am           D             G
       He was strumming my pain  yeah he was singing my... life 
       Em                     A                   D           C
       Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song
                  G               C                 F                  E (hold)
       Telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song
