Roberta Flack, Killing Me Softly With His Song (1973)
Key: :[Ab] (w: Charles Fox, Norman Gimbel) (Fugees, 1996)
CHORUS:
[A#m7] Strumming my pain with her
[Ebm7] fingers
[Ab] Singing my life with her
[Db] words,
[A#m7] Killing me softly with
[Ebm7] her song,
Killing me
[Ab] softly with
[Gb] her song,
Telling my
[Db] whole life with
[Gb] her words,
Killing me
[A#sus4] softly, with her
[A# open] song.
VERSE 1:
[Ebm7] I heard she
[Ab] sang a good song,
[Db] I heard she
[Gb] had a style
[Ebm7] and so I
[Ab] came to see her, and
[A#m7] listen for a while.
[Ebm7] And there she
[Ab] was this young girl,
[Db] a stranger
[F7] 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:
