UNBREAKABLE HEART (by Benmont Tench; recorded by Carlene Carter)
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Actually in Bb; capo 3.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except "Em - D" is one measure total.]
[Sorry it's kind of hard to read; the lines of this song are structured
oddly. All the verses are basically the same, but I wrote them all out
because they're not easy to memorize.]
[I'm pretty unsure about a lot of these chords, especially in the bridge.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.]
[The C's and Em's with * by them have an extra high G in them (pinky on
the 3rd fret of the E string).]
[Some unusual chord fingerings, and more comments, are at the end.]
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
[intro]
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
An empty house, a broken fairy tale
G Bm C Am7/D Em* Em* C* C/D
A hollow girl with empty arms
A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em*
>From an angel's tears, God made the stars
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D
Why can't he make me an unbreakable heart
G Bm C Am7/D
[instrumental]
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
In my blue world, you shone like heaven's fire
G Bm C Am7/D Em* Em* C* C/D
And left me crying in the dark
A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em*
How could any - one be so hard
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G C/G G G
Did you think I had an unbreakable heart
Ddim7/G# Am7 F#m7-5 Em - D C G/B Am G
I suppose I should know sometimes love just comes and goes
Ddim7/G# Am7 F#m7-5 Em - D A7 A7 C C/D
But I believed, foolish me, we'd go on and on
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
One day, someone will come to you
G Bm C Am7/D Em* Em* C* C/D
And rock you tight - ly in her arms
A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em*
Please remember this when you drop your guard
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D
Nobody has an unbreakable heart
A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em*
>From an angel's wings to a falling star
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D G.
God makes everything but unbreakable hearts
CHORDS:
Am7/D: xx0010 Em*: 022003 C*: x32013 C/D: xx0010 A7sus4: x02030
A9/C#: x42000 Am/D: xx0210 Ddim7: xx0101 or xx0131 F#m7-5: 2x2210
A couple other notes on the chords:
1) The C* and Em* chords probably aren't really played by the guitar;
I just put them in because they echo the melody of the song.
2) The B7 isjust two quarter notes. The first doesn't include an F# on
the high E string, the second does. (I.e., play x2120x, then x21202.)
3) In the bridge, where it goes Em - D, don't play the highest strings on
either of those chords. (The D is more like D5.)
4) In the A9/C#, make sure you hit that C#, or it'll sound weird.
5) In the Em* chords before A9/C#, you can play the descending notes
by moving your pinky from 3 down to 2 as you get toward the A9.
