Here's a quote from Christine on the process:

We’ve gone in with one song and come out with a completely different song. The Chain is a classic example. It was originally a song of mine which didn’t have a melody; it just had chords. We did the basic track for that and we didn’t get any farther, except the guitar solo, which Lindsey played live on the basic track. The only part we kept was the end; we threw out the beginning of the song and restructured it step by step, editing on bits of dobro and guitar. We still didn’t have vocal ideas, so that’s where Stevie stepped in. It took about six months going from one stage to the way it ended up.
