The Chain by: Fleetwood Mac originally from the album: Rumours 1977 this version from: The Dance 1997 transcribed by: Kevin League (mleague@mindspring.com) Lindsey Buckingham plays this song in DADGBD tuning using his trademark Travis picking style. I'll try to tab this song as close as possible, but I'm no Lindsey Buckingham and I sure can't Travis pick like he can. chords used: A5: 555XXX D5: X577XX Bb5: X133XX C5: X355XX Intro: (Travis picked) b=bend f&r=full and release 1/2=half bend (riff 1) D----------------0-0-0- B------3---------3-3-3- G-----2---------------- (play this 4x) D---0------------------ A---------3b(1/2)------ D-0--------------0---0- Then: (riff 2) D----------0-0---------0-0---------0-0---5b(f&r)-3---5b(f&r)-3--------- B--1---1---3-3--1--1---3-3-1---1---3-3-------------3-----------3------- G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------------- D-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--0---0---------0-0---------0------- First riff 3x, then: (riff 3) D---------------------------------- B---------------------------------- G---------------------------------- D-3--2--0--------------0----------- A----------3-----------0----------- D-------------3b(1/2)--0----------- Verse 1: Listen to ...Watch the sunrise Runnin' in ...Damn your love, Damn ...

Chorus, then: D-------------------2--2---------- B-----3--------------3--3--------- G---------------2-3---3--3-------- D---0----------------------------- A-------3b(1/2)------------------- D-0------------------------------- Then comes the bass part. I'll transpose it to guitar just for fun. G-------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------- D-5--5--7-6-7-5-3-5-7-0---------------- The end of the song's guitar part is VERY easy, so I'll just transpose parts of it to get you started. You'll be able to figure out the rest D-------0--------------12-12-10-12-Then there's:15-12-15-12------------ B-3-3-1-3-Then there's:------------------------------------------------ G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsey plays that very last lead part throughout the rest of the song while they're singing "The chain will keep us together". That's about it for the song. The timing isn't perfect, so listen to the album to get it right. Once you master that Travis picking, the song will come together fast. Have fun with this one. It took me forever to tab it.
