Bm                           Em 
Strumming my pain with her fingers 
A                          D 
Singing my life with her words 
Bm                       Em 
K*lling me softly with her song 
             A            G 
K*lling me softly with her song 
              D               G 
Telling my whole life with her words 
          C                 B 
K*lling me softly with her song 
 
  
 
Em            A         
I heard she sang a good song 
D           G 
I heard she had a style 
Em           A              Bm                 
And so I came to see him to listen for awhile 
Em              A                D             F# 
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes 
 
  
 
Bm                           Em 
Strumming my pain with her fingers 
A                          D 
Singing my life with her words 
Bm                       Em 
K*lling me softly with her song 
             A            G 
K*lling me softly with her song 
              D               G 
Telling my whole life with her words 
          C                 B 
K*lling me softly with her song 
 
  
Em              A  
I felt all flushed with fever  
D             G 
Embarrassed by the crowd 
Em            A                   Bm      
I felt she found my letters and read each out one loud... oh 
Em                A           D               F#    
I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on  
 
  
 
Bm                           Em 
Strumming my pain with her fingers 
A                          D 
Singing my life with her words 
Bm                       Em 
K*lling me softly with her song 
             A            G 
K*lling me softly with her song 
              D               G 
Telling my whole life with her words 
          C                 B 
K*lling me softly with her song
