*Phiên bản của Sinatra lấy hợp âm đoạn Chorus để dạo đầu
[Dm] I heard she [G] sang a good song, [C] I heard she [F] had a style.
[Dm] And so I [G] came to see her and [Am] listen for a while.
[Dm] And there she [G] was this young girl, [C] a stranger to [E] my eyes.
[Am] Strumming my pain with her [Dm] fingers,
[G] singing my life with her [C] words,
[Am] killing me softly with [D] her song,
killing me [G] softly with her [F] song,
telling my [C] whole life with her [F] words,
killing me [Bb] softly with her [A] song
[Dm] I felt all [G] flushed with fever, [C] embarrassed [F] by the crowd,
[Dm] I felt she [G] found my letters and [Am] read each one out loud.
[Dm] I prayed that [G] she would finish [C] but she just [E] kept right on.
[Am] Strumming my pain with her [Dm] fingers,
[G] singing my life with her [C] words,
[Am] killing me softly with [D] her song,
killing me [G] softly with her [F] song,
telling my [C] whole life with her [F] words,
killing me [Bb] softly with her [A] song
[Dm] She sang as [G] if she knew me [C] in all my [F] dark despair
[Dm] and then she [G] looked right through me [Am] as if I wasn't there.
[Dm] But she just [G] came to singing, [C] singing [E] clear and strong.
[Am] Strumming my pain with her [Dm] fingers,
[G] singing my life with her [C] words,
[Am] killing me softly with [D] her song,
killing me [G] softly with her [F] song,
telling my [C] whole life with her [F] words,
killing me [Bb] softly with her [A] song
