Standard tuning: E A D G B A E Capo 2 [Intro] Em (Let it ring in 4 beats) [Verse] Em Am7 Strumming your pain with my fingers. D7 G-G/F# Singing your life with these words. Em A Killing you softly with this song. D C I'm killing you softly, with this song. G C I'm telling your whole life with these words. F E I'm killing you softly, with his song… [Chorus] (x2) 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 a young boy G B/B7 a stranger to my eyes. [rap part] Am7 kinakatakutan, kinikilabutan, ang kaalaman ng kaisipan/ Am7 ang hagupit na pinakamalupit sa mga dilang makapangyarihan/ Am7 magdahan-dahan pagka't letra ko'y ikay maubusan/ Am7 ang agwat ng kaalaman ay para bang lupa at kalangitan/ Am7 di mo na malamangan na may kinakatakutan mong sakim/ Am7 kase para bang pinalipad ang mga talata mo sa hangin/ Am7 pilit na ginagalawan ang mga kinakatayo/ Am7 kahit alam mo naman pala na ito'y isang pala hudyatan Am7 na may kalaban, na kayong lahat ay pinapaligiran/ Am7 ng mga katagang binibitawan ilang taon na pinag aralan/ Am7 at pagsisihan sapagka't di ka na makatayo/ Am7 at di ka na makagalaw sa mga panibago kong istilo! [Chorus] 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 a young boy G B/B7 a stranger to my eyes.
