[Verse]
Am7 D
I heard she sang a good song,
G C
I heard she had a style,
Am7 D
And so I came to see her,
Em
To listen for a while . . .
Am7 D7
And there she was this young girl,
G B7
A stranger to my eyes . . .
[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
[Verse]
Am7 D
I felt all flushed with fever,
G C
Embarrassed by the crowd,
Am7 D
I felt she found my letters,
Em
And read each one aloud . . .
Am7 D7
I prayed that she would finish,
G B7
But she just kept right on . . .
[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
Am7 D
She sang as if she knew me,
G C
In all my dark despair,
Am7 D
And then she looked right through me,
Em
As if I wasn't there . . .
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 . . .

to match the original tune it has to be played with capo on 4th fred.
Furthermore it sounds much better changing the G chord on "Killing" (3rd line chorus) to an Em. Eventually you could change the Esus4 in an F chord, but this is highly optional
+9

D#maj7b5 could be replaced with Em - on uke.
