The Chain Demo
Fleetwood Mac
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: = x22000 or xx2000 / = 20023x or xx4323 = x02210 = x02220 = x32010 = x02020 = 320033 or xx5433 / = x2x010 A7sus4 = x02030 / = xx0000 N.. = No chords Emphasise the bass note first before strumming the chord. 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.
