Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                             G
Singing my life with his words
Em7                       A/C#
Killing me softly with his    song
              D           C
Killing me softly with his song
                G             C
Telling my whole life with his words

[Verse 1]
Am7
           D7sus2            G        Cmaj7         Am7
I heard he sang  a good song, I heard he   had a style
       D7sus2            Em7                       Am7
And so I     came to see him, to listen for a while
          D7                G            B7
And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Killing me     softly with his song
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am7          D7sus2                   G            Cmaj7
   I felt all      flushed with fever, embarrassed by   the crowd
Am7              D7sus2               Em7
   I felt he'd found   my letters and read each one out loud
Am7                D7             G                B7
   I prayed that he  would finish, but he just kept  right on

              [Lauryn:]
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

[Fugees:]
Hi, yo yea yea.
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp
L-Boogie up in here...
Prazrel (Prazrel up in here! Ha! Ha!)
Lil' Base sits up there on the base (Refugees up in here)
While I'm on this I got my girl L one time, one time!
Hey yo L you know you got the lyrics!

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listened for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes,

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),
Singing my life with his words (two times),
Killing me softly with this song,
Killing me softly with this song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on...

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),
Singing my life with his words (two times),
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song

[Clef:]
Yo L-Boy, take it to the bridge

Come on

[Lauryn:]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing),
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

[Fading:]
Strumming my pain
Put your hands. Put your hands for L-Boogie from the Refugee Camp
Refugees up in here
Singing my life with his words,
You know how we're doing
L-Boogie up in here...
Wyclef
Prazrel
Said, L-Boogie up in here...
Wyclef up in here
My man Lil' Base
Prazrel up in here
Jerry one time
We got Warren up in here
Killing me softly with his song,
Outside is up in here
Killing me softly with his song,
Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp
My ladies, my ladies up in here
We got ... up in here

Everybody got a breaking point, kid. And they read on you. The family niggas have read on you. That's why we gotta be prepared. It took way out ... need.
