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.}
G5 B5 C5 A5 G5 B5 C5 A5
{intro}
G5 B5 C5 A5 G5 B5 C5 A5
An empty house, a broken fairy tale
G5 B5 C5 A5 Em* Em* C* C5
A hollow girl with empty arms
A5 E5 A5 B5 Em* Em*
From an angel's tears, God made the stars
A5 A5 C* C5 A5 A5 G5 B5 C5 A5
Why can't he make me an unbreakable heart
G5 B5 C5 A5
{instrumental}
G5 B5 C5 A5 G5 B5 C5 A5
In my blue world, you shone like heaven's fire
G5 B5 C5 A5 Em* Em* C* C5
And left me crying in the dark
A5 E5 A5 B5 Em* Em*
How could any - one be so hard
A5 A5 C* C5 A5 A5 G5 C5 G5 G5
Did you think I had an unbreakable heart
D5 A5 F#5 E5 - D5 C5 G5 A5 G5
I suppose I should know sometimes love just comes and goes
D5 A5 F#5 E5 - D5 A5 A5 C5 C5
But I believed, foolish me, we'd go on and on
G5 B5 C5 A5 G5 B5 C5 A5
One day, someone will come to you
G5 B5 C5 A5 Em* Em* C* C5
And rock you tight - ly in her arms
A5 E5 A5 B5 Em* Em*
Please remember this when you drop your guard
A5 A5 C* C5 A5 A5 G5 B5 C5 A5
Nobody has an unbreakable heart
A5 E5 A5 B5 Em* Em*
From an angel's wings to a falling star
A5 A5 C* C5 A5 A5 G5 B5 C5 A5 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 Ddim: 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 B5 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 E5 - D5 , don't play the highest strings on
either of those chords. (The D is more like D5.)
4) In the A5 , make sure you hit that C# , or it'll sound weird.
5) In the Em* chords before A5 , you can play the descending notes
by moving your pinky from 3 down to 2 as you get toward the A9
