My take is...

Mick, John and Lindsey laid down an instrumental track (called Keep Me There?).
Christine had a song with a working title 'Butter Cookie' that was added to the music of Mick, John and Lindsey.
She fleshed out the lyrics and it became 'Keep Me There'.
Stevie wrote a song called 'The Chain'.
At some point Christine's Keep Me There was dropped and The Chain was added to the music instead.
Lindsey independently culled a lot of the original lyrics and wrote a new introductory verse (and more?).
Lindsey developed the guitar riff from Lola My Love.

Interesting you say 'Keep Me There' is like something you'd find on a Bob Welch-era album. For me the basic music track has a feel of The Purple Dancer (which I think technically pre-dates Bob Welch).

Is this chain of events roughly right or am I a mile off?
I believe the instrumental of Keep Me There was written by Christine..
