More Than A Whisper Chords by Nanci Griffith

_ _ _ [C] Mmm, _ _ _
_ [G] _ mmm, mmm, [Gm] mmm, [C] mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm _ _
I wish that you would call
We have [G] not spoken since last fall
[Gm] _ [C] Smoky conversations coming on
_ _ _ Do I [G] just read between your lines?
[F] Let me eat this winter wine
[G] Sweet upon [F] my tongue tonight
[C] Pickles your tender eyes
And I [F] need more than a whisper
So [Bb] much more than a whisper
It [G] takes more than a whisper
To wake this [C] weary fool
Give [F] me more than a whisper
_ [Bb] If you say I love you
[G] There's a service person you never _
[C] understood
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ And it's [C] snowing up in the Northlands
I read [F] your warm words from the plains
[Bb] While the poets say [F] that I should never
Be thinking of you [C] this way
And they say that I misread your lines
Because I've [F] been lonely all my life
[Bb] And I'll be reaching for [F] some silver
And leaving my heart out in the fire
And I need more than a whisper
So [Bb] much more than a whisper
It [F] takes more than a whisper
To [G] wake this [C] weary fool
Give me [F] more than a whisper
If [Bb] you say I love you
[F] There's a service person [G] you [C] never _ understood _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
Well I will drink my winter wine
When I [F] get home I'll change my mind
[Bb] I'll only whisper that I [F] love you
In those smoky [C] bars at night
I know the poets say I'm lonely
There's still [F] this woman here inside
And [Bb] I've never been [F] a fool
But my heart was on the [C] line
Because I [F] need more than a whisper
So [Bb] much more than a whisper
It [Am] takes more than a whisper
[G] To wake this [C] weary fool
Give me [F] more than a whisper _
[Bb] If you say I love you
[G] There's a service person you never _ [C] understood _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
