Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Strumming  my pain with his fin-gers,
 Singing  my life with his words,
 Killing  me softly with his song,
 Killing me soft-ly with his  song,
 Telling my whole life with his  words,
 Killing me softly  with his song.
 Drum rhythm for 8 bars
   I heard he sang a good  song,
   I heard he had a smile,
   And so i came to see  him
 And listen  for a while.
   And there he was, this young  boy,
   A stranger to my eyes.
Strumming  my pain with his fin-gers,
Singing  my life with his words,
Killing  me softl with his song,
 Killing me soft-ly with his  song,
 Telling my whole life with his  words,
 Killing me softl  with his song.
   I felt all  flushed with fever,
 Embarrassed by the crowd,
   I felt he found  a letters
 And read each  one out loud.
 I  prayed that he would  finish,
   But he just kept right on...
 As Chorus 2
Oh  oh oh,  oh oh oh oh oh  oh
La  la la la la la,
Woh  la,  woh la, la  la la  la.
 Chorus 4 |: Chorus 2 :| repeat to fade with ad lib. vocal
