Hey! I found this Tab on the site but some bits sounded a bit off to me, so I just did a few
adjustments. These are the chords I use to play the song. Just made it easier for beginners
and hopefully better!
Enjoy=)
*Chorus*(this song begins with the chorus)
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song;
telling my whole life, with his words,
Killing me softly -- with his song.
Verse 1
I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style,
And so I went to see him and listen for awhile.
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes.
*Chorus*
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song;
telling my whole life, with his words,
Killing me softly -- with his song.
Verse 2
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters,
And read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on.
*Chorus*
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song;
telling my whole life, with his words,
Killing me softly -- with his song.
Verse 3
He sang as if he knew me,
In all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me,
As if I wasn't there.
He just kept right on,
Singin' clear and strong.
*Chorus* repeat
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song;
telling my whole life, with his words,
Killing me softly -- with his song.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
La la la la la la,
Woh la, woh la, la la la la.
*Chorus*
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song;
telling my whole life, with his words,
Killing me softly -- with his song.
