[Primeira Parte]

C#m           F#
    I heard she sang a good song
B              E
  I heard she had a style
C#m           F#
    And so I came to see her
G#m
    And listen for a while

C#m                F#7
    And there she was this young girl
B             D#7
  A stranger to my eyes

[Refrão]

   G#m                      C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers
 F#                       B
Singing my life with her words
 G#m                    C#
Killing me softly with her song
            F#              E
Killing me softly with her song
             B                  E
Telling my whole life with her words
            A
Killing me softly
          G#
With her song

[Segunda Parte]

C#m              F#
    I felt all flushed with fever
B          E
  Embarrassed by the crowd
C#m             F#
    I felt she found my letters
G#m
    And read each one out loud

C#m                 F#7
    I prayed that she would finish
B               D#7
  But she just kept right on

[Refrão]

   G#m                      C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers

Singing my life with her words
 G#m                    C#
Killing me softly with her song
            F#              E
Killing me softly with her song
             B                  E
Telling my whole life with her words
            A
Killing me softly
          G#
With her song

[Terceira Parte]

C#m             F#
    She sang as if she knew me
B            E
  In all my dark despair
C#m               F#
    And then she looked right through me
G#m
    As if I wasn't there

C#m               F#7
    But she was there with a stranger
B           D#7
  Singing clear and strong

[Refrão]

   G#m                      C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers
 F#                       B
Singing my life with her words
 G#m                    C#
Killing me softly with her song
            F#              E
Killing me softly with her song
             B                  E
Telling my whole life with her words
            A
Killing me softly
