Chain of Fools - Track By Track
To do a definitive soul record, a collection of soul songs
You can't not do an Aretha Franklin song
I mean, as a singer it's very daunting, she's such a great singer
But this song to me, I love the swampiness of the song
It sounds like you're in Memphis
It sounds like you're down in Fame Studios or something like that
It's just got a swagger to it and a, and a smooth groove to it
But it's a great song to sing
I wanted to sing it, it was on 'Soul Deeper'
It was a really-, you know, the band on this was really great
The pocket's really good
I got a guy called James Gadson playing drums on this song
James is the drummer who played on everything
Played on all the bill with us
He played on 'What's Going On', Marvin Gaye
He was like 75 when he played on this track
And he's just unbelievable drummer
The groove was terrific, it's a fantastic song
It's 'Chain Of Fools'
Well well well well well
Chain, chain, chain (yeah)
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chai-a-a-a-ain
Chain of fools
For five long years
Thought I was your man
Now I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
A-treatin' me bad
Yeah, you're treatin' me cruel
I'm adding to your
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chai-a-a-a-ain
Chain of fools
Every chain
Has got a weak link
Well, I might be weak, child
I'm gonna take all I can take
Yeah, listen now
Your mamma said leave me alone
Your poppa said go on home, boy
Your doctor said take it easy
Oh, but your love is much too strong
I've added to your
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chai-a-a-a-ain
A chain of fools
I woke up this morning
The chain is gonna break
But up until then, child
I'm gonna take all I can take (yeah)
A chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chai-a-a-a-ain
A chain of fools (well, alright, Lord)
Chain, chain, chain (oh yeah)
Chain, chain, chain (oh baby, baby)
Chain, chain, chai-a-a-a-ain
Chain of fools
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain (oh, a chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chai-a-a-a-ain
Chain of fools
Chain, chain, chain
