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.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CARLENE CARTER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
