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.]

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;
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.
