THE CHAIN – FLEETWOOD MAC
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Album: The Dance (1997)
Tuning: Drop D (DADGBE)
No Capo (To play along with the Rumours album put capo on 2nd fret)
Tabbed by Robert Saunders
[NOTES]
Lindsey Buckingham played this using the Travis picking technique. I’ve tabbed this from The Dance album
but the Rumours recording is basically the same, just with a capo on the 2nd fret to put it in Em. Some of
the finger picking is different in the two recordings but the chords are basially the same (relative to the
capo).
Where Buckingham picks out different melodies based around the D chords in the intro and between the verses,
chorus and break, I’ve just written the D chords that he is playing around.
After the break, Lindsey Buckingham plays the solo, which I’ve not tabbed. Instead I’ve just included the
chords that you can play along with the iconic bass line. When the singing comes in at the end you can play
Gm and Bb instead of G5 Bb5 (888766), which I think sounds better if you are playing solo.
