Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Song: The chain(demo)
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.

Em A G A
Slipped into the deltas of my emptiness,
Em A G A
I let... teardops fall, I let 'em go,
Em A G A
Stepped into the canyons of my loneliness,
Em A G D/F# Em
And I went about as far as I could go!
Em A G A
And even as I searched for you, I knew...
Em A G A
...That, even if I found you, you'd be so cold,
Em A G A
And even when I found you now, baby, I knew...
Em A G D/F# Em
That I had gone about as far as I could go!
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
And if you don't love me now, you will never love me a - gain,

G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
I can still----------- hear you saying...
G D/F# A7 A7sus4 A7
...That if you don't love me now, oh, oh, oh----hoh,

C C/B Am G D/F# Em
I don't mean to beg, but I don't know what else to say,
C C/B Am G D/F# Em
If you meant what you said, you'd 've been here yesterday,
C C/B Am G D/F# Em
I won't watch you go---, no, and I won't even try----,
C C/B Am G D/F# Em
There you go down the road, but don't look to me to say goodbye-----!
