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.]

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.
