Chain of Fools Lyrics by R.L. Burnside

Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down

2000

Chain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\n(Chain of fools)
\nFor five long years
\nI thought you were my man
\nBut I found out, I'm just a link in your chain
\nOh, you got me where you want me
\nI ain't nothin' but your fool
\nYa treated me mean
\nOh you treated me cruel
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain
\nChain of fools)
\nEvery chain, has got a weak link
\nI might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
\nOh, babe
\n(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
\nYou told me to leave you alone
\n(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
\nMy father said 'Come on home'
\n(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
\nMy doctor said 'Take it easy'
\n(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
\nOh but your lovin is just too strong
\n(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
\nI'm added to your
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain chain, chain)
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\nChain of fools
\nOh, one of these mornings
\nThe chain is gonna break
\nBut up until the day
\nI'm gonna take all I can take, oh babe
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\nChain, chain, chain
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\n(Chain of fools)
\nOh!
\n(Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain)
\n(Chain, chain, chain)
\nOh-oh!
\n(Chain, chain, chain, -ain, ain, ain, ain)
\nYour chain of fools\n\n
