The whole song is played under a Bb chord. I've tabbed out the bass 
intro at the start and the saxophone fill-ins throughout the song.

For five long years 
When I was your man 
Now I found out 
I'm just a link in your chain 
 
 
You got me where you want me (FILL 5) 
I ain't nothing but your fool (FILL 5) 
You treated me bad (FILL 5) 
You treated me cruel (FILL 5)

CHORUS 
 
 
Every chain (FILL 5) 
Has got a weak link (FILL 5) 
Well, I may be weak (FILL 5) 
But I'm not going to take all I can take (FILL 5) 
 
 
Yeah, listen now 
 
 
Your mamma said leave me alone 
Your poppa said go on home 
Your doctor said take it easy 
Oh, but your loving is much too strong 
 
(I add it to your) 
CHORUS 
 
 
I woke up this morning (FILL 5) 
The chain is gonna break (FILL 5) 
But up until then (FILL 5) 
I'm gonna take all I can take (FILL 5)
