The Chain
 

I was listening to the Rumours DVD-A and they list Christine as the first writer of The Chain. Don't know why they did this order, but it may be because she wrote the meat of the song.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, I think she pretty much provided the main 'nugget' that started it all, then John stuck that bass solo to the end of it, and The Chain as we know it then grew from that.

I've never noticed that. The Rumours record has the writers in alphabetical order. I think if anyone deserves to be first, it should be Christine because of "Keep Me There", which started everything.

By the way, did anyone ever notice that Chris also got her name first in the writing credits for "World Turning", ahead of Lindsey?

yes

McVie/Buckingham

Just as it should be.

We all know who the heart and soul of the band is (oops sorry was - still in denial)

I've heard a demo or snippet of Keep Me There before. I don't remember where I heard it, but I recall it having a keyboard part very similar to The Chain. I can't remember which part of the song it sounded like though!
