Am7 D7 And there she was this young girl, G B7 A stranger to my eyes . . .

Am7 D7 But she was there, this stranger, G B7 Singing clear and strong . . . [Chorus] Em Am Strummin' my pain with her fingers, D7 G Singin' my life with her words, Em A Killing me softly with her song, D C Killing me softly, with her song, G C Telling my whole life with her words, Fmaj7b5 E Killing me softly, with her song Fmaj7b5 E Killing me softly, with her song . . .
