Too true, an over-tight chain is a BAD thing, and will put undue strain on the output shaft & bearing
In an ideal world, that chain needs to be replaced. In the real world, the advice given by Oldbmw is OK, but you'll need to match the chain exactly & find somewhere that sells chain "off-the-roll". If your chain has stretched too much, the new bit of chain may cause other problems with uneven wear, and wreck the sprockets.
I think you'd be best fitting a new set - but a better make, Afam or Izumi.
