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.
=====================================================
Emphasise the bass note first then strum the chord.
If played with fingerpicking, for the G - D/F# - Em
progressions I would use the 2nd options shown below,
that have the descending bass notes on the 4th string
but it's just a personal choice.
CAPO: 5th fret
(Will then sound in the recorded demo key of C)
Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo:
Em = x22000 or xx2000 C = x32010
A = x02220 C/B = x2x010
G = 320033 or xx5433 Am = x02210
Em7/D = xx0000 A7 = x02020
D/F# = 20023x or xx4323 A7sus4 = x02030
N.C. = No chords
