The Chain Lyrics

Stevie Nicks early solo demo.
Sounds like she's getting ideas down and riffing the verse lyrics,
but still interesting to hear how the song began.

CAPO: 5th fret (Sounds in key of Am)
Slipped into the deltas of my emptiness,
I let... teardops fall, I let 'em go,
Stepped into the canyons of my loneliness,
And I went about as far as I could go!
And even as I searched for you, I knew...
...That, even if I found you, you'd be so cold,
And even when I found you now, baby, I knew...
That I had gone about as far as I could go!
And if you don't love me now, you will never love me a - gain,
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain,
#
I can still----------- hear you saying...
...That if you don't love me now, oh, oh, oh----hoh,
You won't love me a - gain! | / / / / | / / / / |
I don't mean to beg, but I don't know what else to say,
If you meant what you said, you'd 've been here yesterday,
#
I won't watch you go---, no, and I won't even try----,
There you go down the road, but don't look to me to say goodbye-----!
And if you don't love me now, you will never love me a - gain,
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain,
I can still----- hear you saying you would never break the chain,
And if you don't love me now, oh, oh, oh----hoh,
You won't love me a - gain! | / / / / | / / / / |
You won't love me a - gain! | / / / / | / / / / |
You won't love me a - gain! Oo - oo, uh - huh!
#
Humm - mmm - mm, oo - oo - oo, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh, oh----!
#
Uh - uh, uh---! Uh - uh, uh---! Oo, oo - oo, oo - oo,oo,oo---!
#
Oo, oo - oo, oo, oo - oo, oo, oo - oo, oo, oo - oo, oo----!
#
Why--------------------- why don't you love me? Ah - ah, ah - ah!
I'm down on my knees--------------, begging you to,
#
Please-------------, baby, don't leave me------------------!
#
Baby, don't leave me------, Uh - uh, uh - uh, uh - uh---!
#
Baby, please-----! Uh---, uh---! Baby, please-----! Umm---, umm--!
Baby, don't leave me! | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
Baby, don't leave me! | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
Baby, don't... leave... me-----!
