            Softer Than a Whisper
Hal Ketchum



Capo 2nd fret


Intro: C  G  D  G     C  G  C  D  G

C          G                D                   G
I’ve often wondered... how love would strike me dead 
          C            G          C         D     G
Would it head me like thunder... that’s what I’d expect
            C           G               D                G
But when I held you, I knew...it was different from the start
C             G               C        D   G
No words were spoken...but I felt it in my heart

        C             G        D            G
It was softer than a whisper...quiet as the moon
             C               G         C         D      G
But I could hear it loud as laughter...’cross a crowded room
          C           G          D                     Em
It was gentle as a baby’s hand...but it held me like a chain
C G Em C D G It was softer than a whisper...when love called out my name C G C D G C G D G Last night you laid sleeping...and I thought I heard a sound C G C D G I got up and slowly ...took a look around C G D G Well I found no answer...no sound I could explain C G C D G It must have been your heart dear...calling out my name C G D G It was softer than a whisper...quiet as the moon C G C D G But I could hear it loud as laughter...’cross a crowded room C G D Em It was gentle as a baby’s hand...but it held me like a chain C G Em C D G It was softer than a whisper...when love called out my name C G Em C D G It was softer than a whisper...when love called out my name CHORDS: C.....X32010 D.....XX0232 Em....022000 G.....320003
