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 along to the chords F Bb C F
(the first F chord in that string of four is for the pick-up note where the girls sing a C note)
Verse 1
Take these cFhains from my heart and set me fCree
You've grown cC7old and no longer care for Fme
All my faith in you is gF7one, but the heBbartaches linger oG7n
Take these cChains from my hC7eart and set me fFree
Verse 2
Take these tFears from my eyes and let me sCee
Just a sC7park of the love that used to Fbe
If you love somebody F7new, let me fBbind a new love tG7oo
Take these Cchains from my C7heart and set me Ffree
Verse 3
Give my hFeart just a word of sympathCy
Be as fC7air to my heart as you can Fbe
Then if you no longer cF7are for the lBbove that's beating thG7ere
Take these cChains from my hC7eart and set me fFree
