Softer Than A Whisper chords by Hal Ketchum

Capo 2nd

Intro:

C  G  D  G     C  G  Em C  D  G


Verse:

C             G          D                     G
I’ve often wondered how love would strike me dead
          C            G      C           D     G
Would it hit 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

Chorus:

          C           G        D           G
It was softer than a whisper quiet as the moon
             C               G  Em     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


Instrumental:

C   G    C   D    G


Verse:

      C             G               D                 G
Last night you lay sleepin’ when 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


[Chorus[

        C            G        D           G
It was softer than a whisper quiet as the moon
             C              G    Em   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
