Chords

The original (or at least the original I have) is in the key of F Major [Intro] Back-up vocals sing the first line in the song in the following manner:
F          Bb             C                F
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
(the first F chord in that string of four is for the pick-up note where the girls sing a C note) [Verse 1]
            F                               C
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

              C7                         F  
You've grown cold and no longer care for me

                        F7             Bb               G7
All my faith in you is gone, but the heartaches linger on

            C              C7               F
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
[Verse 2]
            F                             C
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see

        C7                            F  
Just a spark of the love that used to be

                     F7           Bb              G7
If you love somebody new, let me find a new love too

           C              C7               F
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
[Verse 3]
         F                          C
Give my heart just a word of sympathy

       C7                         F  
Be as fair to my heart as you can be

                       F7           Bb                   G7
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there

            C              C7               F
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
