WHAT'S A BROKEN HEART
(by Don Phrimmer & George Teren)
(performed by Patty Loveless)
-----------------------------
[The recording of this song is in G#; I play the acoustic guitar intro
in either D or C, and use a capo at the 6th or 8th fret. The chords
I've written here are in D, but if you just want the chords, it would
probably be easier to play it in G and use a capo on the 1st fret.]
[Don't worry too much about the F#m13; just play it as F#m, if you're
strumming chords. I called it a thirteenth because it has lots of
hammer-ons and pull-offs that add up to a lot of different notes.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]
