Here I am playing through the classic Killing me softly acoustic
I have added the chords to the backing track above the guitar tab so you could play the whole piece yourselves.
Behind the lyrics:
Don McLean's hit song "American Pie" was rising in the charts, but Lieberman was strongly affected by McLean singing another song: "Empty Chairs". This song spurred her to write poetic notes on a paper napkin while he was performing the song.
"Killing Me Softly with His Song" is originally a 1973 song by Roberta Flack, which Lauryn Hill and The Fugees masterfully covered in 1996. The song tells the story of a woman who feels deeply moved and exposed by a singer's performance.
