Chained and Bound [Set 1 / Sunday, 4/10/66] Songtext
von Otis Redding

We gon′ slow the tempo down again
The song goes like this

Darling now, you made me change my mind
I can go no further, because you got me chained and bound, oh yeah
You're taller than the tallest sky
You′re sweeter than a grape on a vine, now
I ain't going no further, 'cause you got me chained and bound, now now now now

So glad, I′m so glad, I′m so glad
Oh, I don't have to worry no more
Oh my my my
Baby, somebody, somebody

What kind of life is this that I′m living
Oh Lord, what kind of love is you trying to give me
I feel like standing up and telling the word
Oh man, yeah

Darling, oh na
Don't break this little heart of mine
There′s no greater love than this love of yours and mine, oh


Oh, you got me chained to her love, now
And I don't, I don′t want to be taken away, yeah
