The Chain Demo by Fleetwood Mac - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Fleetwood Mac Song List
Version 1
Song: The chain (Demo)
Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Composer: Stevie Nicks
Album: 'Rumours' 35th anniversary box set bonus track
Tabbed by: DJ
18th Feb 2013
Stevie Nicks early solo demo. It sounds like she's getting ideas down
and just riffing the verse lyrics, but it's still interesting to hear
how her segment of 'The chain' first began.
CAPO: 5th fret (Will then sound in the recorded demo key of C)
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Em = x22000 or xx2000 D/F# = 20023x or xx4323 Am = x02210
A = x02220 C = x32010 A7 = x02020
G = 320033 or xx5433 C/B = x2x010 A7sus4 = x02030
Em7/D = xx0000 N.C. = No chords
Emphasise the bass note first before strumming the chord.
If played with fingerpicking, for the G - D/F# - Em progressions
I would use the 2nd options shown above, which have the descending
bass notes on the 4th string, but it's just a personal choice.
Please select a star rating for this tab, many thnaks
