  Anyway the piece is pretty straight foward, of course listening 
  to it over and over will help.
  The * is just to show you that the verses are almost the same,
      except the line marked with the *
  The ** means this chord is played in a bar with a funky meter
      probably somethig like 3/8 but I am not totally sure. 
  
  Also the outro I am not completely sure of, but I think 
      I am close.
  
  Unbroken Chain
  --------------
  Am           C
  
  Dm          F
  Blue light rain,
  Csus4           C
  well unbroken chain,
  Am             Eb      *
  Looking for familiar faces
  F       Em        G       C/G  G     Am      C
  in an empty window pane.
  
  Dm            Fsus4
  Listening for the secret,
  Csus4         Am
  searching for the sound
  C        G/B                Am
  But I could only hear the preacher
  G                     F           Em    G  C/G G
  and the baying of his hounds.
  
  Am        C
  
  Dm        F
  Willow sky, woh,
  Csus4           C
  I walk and wonder why,
  F               G          *
  They say love your brother,
  F       Em              G       C/G  G     Am      C
  but you will catch it when you try.
  
  Dm                 Fsus4
  Roll you down the line poor boy,
  Csus4          Am
  drop you for a loss,
  C           G/B                Am
  Ride you out on the cold railroad
  G               F           Am
  and nail you to a cross.
  
  ||:  G    C    Fsus4    F  :|| 4 times 
  
  Am         C
  
  Dm        F
  November and more,
  Csus4           C
  as I wait for the score,
  Dm7              Cmaj7       *
  They're telling me forgiveness
  F       Em          G       C/G  G     Am      C
  is the key to every door.
  
  Dm             Fsus4
  A slow winter day
  Csus4               Am
  a night like forever
  C              G/B            Am
  sink like a stone,
  G             F        Em     Dm     C  Dm   
  float like the feather.
  
  ||:  G    C    Fsus4    F  :|| 4 times 
  
  Cm7    Fmaj7     Dm7     Em**  G   Gsus4  
  
  Cm7          Fmaj7
  Lilac rain, unbroken chain
  Dm7                 Em**  G    Gsus4
  Song of the Saw-Whet owl.
  Cm7                   Fmaj7
  Out on a mountain, it'll drive you insane
  Dm7                   Em**  G     Gsus4
  Listening to the winds howl.
  
  Cm7                 Fmaj7
  Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls,
  Dm7                 Em**          G   Gsus4
  Unbroken chain of sky and sea.
  Cm7                 Fmaj7
  Unbroken chain of the western wind,
  Dm7                 Em**           G        Am/G    G
  Unbroken chain of you and me.
  
  Outro:   A7      C         D9        Cmaj7        D7      Gsus4
           Bm     Em      C           Em            Bm      G
           A        Em   (or something like this!!)
