Subject: TAB: "Killing me softly" "Fugees" chords+tab+lyrics

corrections by: KiloKyle@aol.com

I loved this song, thought it was a good tab, but the chords weren't there,
so now you can pplay both at once :) plus all this stuff at the top is
annoying, so cut down, Reach me to bitch, praise at: KiloKyle@aol.com

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

Verse 2:
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 3:
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.
