I learned it as a Roberta Flack song. but here it is if you don't know who she is. I play it acousticly with a friend singing so needless to say it doesn't sound like the Fugees's version but the chords are the same. If you won't to add to the song have another person play the second position chords along with yourself. well here it is. TAB: Sam Stewart "killing me softly" by fugees (CHORUS) Em Am D7 G Strumming my pain with my fingers. singing my life with his words. G A D C Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song. G C Telling my whole life with his words. Esus4 E Killing me softly, with his song. G: 320033 Am7 D A: x02220 I heard he sang the good song. Am: x02210 G C B7: 224232 I heard he had a style. C: x32010 Am7 D D: xx0232 And so I came to see him, D7: xx0212 Em Am7: x02010 and listen for a while. Esus4: 02220x Am7 D7 E: 022100 And there he was a young boy Em: 02200x G B7 a stranger to my eyes. (CHORUS) I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd. I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on. (CHORUS) He sang as if knew me in all my dark despair. And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there. And he just kept on singing sining clear and strong (CHORUS) harmony....
