I see words as being -- by astronomical units -- the least of Fleetwood Mac's various achievements.
I don't think Stevie thinks -- well, who knows what she actually thinks -- when she gets the wind under her sails and says stuff like that, I don't think she's just taking credit for The Chain words. When she says that Lindsey and Christine sat there for months struggling pathetically on the song until she rescued them, I think she is implying that she's probably responsible for the piano and guitar too. Only John gets credit for the bass.

On the other hand, you have a point, because she did say that all Lindsey added was the "running in the shadows" part, indicating she was focusing on the words and not the instrumental contributions.
