Killing Me Softly - Roberta Flack
Chorus:
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7 G
singing my life with his words
Em A
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words.
Esus4
Killing me softly
E
with his song.
Am7 D
I heard he sang a good song
G C
I heard he had a style
Am7 D
and so I came to see him
Em
and listen for a while.
Am7 D7
And there he was this young boy
G H7
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 he 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
singing clear and strong.
(Chorus)

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack
Dm G C
The first time ever I saw your face
Am Em F
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
C
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
Bb C
to the dark and the end of the skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand,
like a trembling heart of a captive bird,
that was there at my birth.
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
and I knew our joy would fill the earth
and last till the end of time
