Ray Charles - Take These Chains From My Heart Lyrics






(Take these chains from my heart and set me free)
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

[Instrumental Interlude - One Full Verse]

Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy)
Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be)
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free (set me free)

  6. j.... b....

    a finer singer has never sang. i remember the biggest thing in the late 50's was the outstanding nat king cole!!! everyone was saying about johnny THE NEXT NAT COLE!! no offense to anyone but johnny in his own right was better than nat!!! listen to there voices .they both have that rose petal softness to there vocal chords except for one thing. johnnys range is better than nats.no offense to nat.i love them both and i would not want to judge a contest between them.lets just thank god for making them.

    Hank Williams wrote this song back in the late 40's and it sounds just as good today as it did back then. Lets see these so called singers of today do that. Not much chance.

  20. A.... J....

    Ray with his voice alone is literally his own genre

  21. t.... P....

    saw this geiouse at wembley man what a performer he nearly fell of his stool man what a sad sad day when he passed

    at least i can say i was there he was on with that idiot van morrison arrogant git ray should have done whole gig

    They don't cut incredible songs like this anymore, we saddled with noise and vulgarity

    Take these chains from my heart and set me free

    Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
    Just a spark of the love that used to be
    If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too
    Take these chains from my heart and set me free

    Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy)
    Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be)
    Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there

    my kids dad paul x

  46. G.... M....

    This song was written over 70 years ago and people are still listening to it. Like to see these new so called song writers do that. The "stuff" they are writing now, singing now is pure poo. Ray, you keep singing, we'll keep listening.

  47. B.... N....

    Has anyone else noticed that this song is Hey Jude?

  48. O.... G....

    1 of the best xx

  49. J.... B....

    Single Ray

  50. D.... C....

    one of the things that made the country records Sid Feller produced and Ray cut is that incredible bass ... bull fiddles country musicians called them. Electric bass guitars with amplifiers were much easier to haul around, but none of them has ever produced the resonance and power that drives those cuts.

  51. M.... S....

    OMG YOU SEND ME ...

  52. c.... ....

    What a voice, so much soul.

  53. P.... R....

    Excellent..Oui.

  54. S.... S....

    Gone but not forgotten

  55. E.... H....

    to me, one of the best songs ever

  56. s.... w....

    And set me freeeee....

  57. J.... ....

    And then the blacks always say the whites, especially Elvis, stole the music from them. It is the other way around. Hits like Hound Dog, I cant stop loving you, Proud Mary and many others were written and sung by white interpreters and were stolen by black People!

  58. M.... M....

    Ray Charles is. A
    Super singer always just love his songs songs especially "" Take This Cain's from my Heart "". Thank U always for sharing your music, Maria Martinez Austin Texas in Montoplis! March 2019

  64. S.... N....

    Genuine music not something that sounds like it

  65. D.... B....

    The first time I heard this song, I was on leave from Germany in the exciting city of Paris. I crossed eyes with a young stunning French girl. We fell in love within a matter of minutes. YES! I do believe in love at first sight, it happened to us. I visited her for the next three years, we planned to marry. Now the heartache begins. She was killed in an auto accident three months before I was set to rotate. To this day, I am still deeply in love with this beautiful French girl. My heart has ached each day and it never ever stops.I miss he terribly, yes it still hurts after all these years.

  66. j.... ....

    I bought this as a pirate album when I was overseas in Korea "63. He's one of my favorite singers.
