This is the Fugee's version of "Killing Me Softly" which is by Charles Fox, And the lyrics are by Norman Gimbel. I tabbed along with the melody, So it includes all the "whoas" and other voice effects. If I have Forgotten any, please let me now because I don't have this song on tape, so I'm doing it from memory. Crystal Doyle:) P.S. This isn't written in time, so you'll have to figure out the rhythm Yourself. Killing Me Softly Part A (Verse 1): (for verses 2 and 3, play the same melody, but substitute The words.
I heard he sang |a good song|I heard he had|a style| and so I came|to see him to|lis-ten for a whi-i-ile|
And there he was|this young boy|stran-ger to|my ey-es|
Part B (Chorus): Strum-ming my pain with his fin-gers|Sing-ing my life|
with his words|Kill-ing me soft-ly with his|
song, kill-ing me soft-| ly with his |song|Tell-ing my whole|
life|with his words|kill-ing me so-oft-ly|with his|song.|

whoa-oa-oa|Ah-ah-ah-ah-uh-oa-oa-oo with his| (play part c)Then play part b (the chorus) again, and end it there.
Verse
I felt all flushed with fever, embarassed by the crowd, I felt he found my letters and read each one aloud. I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.
Verse
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. But he was there this stranger singing clear strong.
