Killing Me Softly With Her Song Perry Como
Capo on first fret to sound like original
[Cm] I heard she[F] sang a good song,
[A#] I heard she h[D#]ad a style,
[Cm] And so I c[F]ame to see her,
To li[Gm]sten for a while . . .
[Cm] And there she[F] was this young girl,
[A#] A stranger t[D]o my eyes . . .
S[Gm]trummin' my pain with her[Cm] fingers,
S[F]ingin' my life with her [A#]words,
K[Gm]illing me softly with he[C]r song,
Killing me sof[F]tly, with[D#] her song,
Telling my [A#]whole life with h[D#]er words,
Killing me s[Gsus4]oftly, with her so[G]ng . . .
[Cm]I felt all flu[F]shed with fever,
[A#]Embarrassed by t[D#]he crowd,
[Cm]I felt she fo[F]und my letters,
And read[Gm] each one aloud . . .
[Cm]I prayed that sh[F]e would finish,
[A#]But she just ke[D]pt right on . . .
S[Gm]trummin' my pain with her[Cm] fingers,
S[F]ingin' my life with her [A#]words,
K[Gm]illing me softly with he[C]r song,
Killing me sof[F]tly, with[D#] her song,
Telling my [A#]whole life with h[D#]er words,
Killing me s[Gsus4]oftly, with her so[G]ng . . .
[Cm]She sang as if[F] she knew me,
[A#]In all my dark d[D#]espair,
[Cm]And then she [F]looked right through me,
As if I [Gm]wasn't there . . .
[Cm]But she was ther[F]e, this stranger,
[A#]Singing clear a[D]nd strong . . .
S[Gm]trummin' my pain with her[Cm] fingers,
S[F]ingin' my life with her [A#]words,
K[Gm]illing me softly with he[C]r song,
Killing me sof[F]tly, with[D#] her song,
Telling my [A#]whole life with h[D#]er words,
Killing me s[Gsus4]oftly, with her so[G]ng . . .
