Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

(Let it ring in 4 beats)

Strumming your pain with my fingers.

Singing your life with these words.

Killing you softly with this song.

 I'm killing you softly, with this song.

 I'm telling your whole life with these words.

 I'm killing you softly, with his song

I heard he sang a good song.

I heard he had a style.

And so I came to see him,

  and listen for a while.

And there he was a young boy

a stranger to my eyes.

(back to chorus)

rap part:

kinakatakutan, kinikilabutan, ang kaalaman ng kaisipan/

ang hagupit na pinakamalupit sa mga dilang makapangyarihan/

magdahan-dahan pagka't letra ko'y ikay maubusan/

ang agwat ng kaalaman ay para bang lupa at kalangitan/

di mo na malamangan na may kinakatakutan mong sakim/

kase para bang pinalipad ang mga talata mo sa hangin/

pilit na ginagalawan ang mga kinakatayo/

kahit alam mo naman pala na ito'y isang pala hudyatan

na may kalaban, na kayong lahat ay pinapaligiran/

ng mga katagang binibitawan ilang taon na pinag aralan/

at pagsisihan sapagka't di ka na makatayo/

at di ka na makagalaw sa mga panibago kong istilo!

(back to chorus)

(guitar muting)

[5 times in 4 beats]

Interlude & scats [chords that are used in this part are the chorus chords]
