Landslide chords by The Smashing Pumpkins

Chords with lyrics

I was given this as a lesson song by a folky-type teacher a few years back
when it was more widely known as a Stevie Nicks song. I agree, it's a very
pretty one. I've only caught just the end of the Smashing Pumpkins version
for the first time yesterday, but it sounded pretty similar (I thought it
*was* Stevie Nicks 'til I listed closer). How cool - I used to just know
old, mellow stuff, now I can play a Smashing Pumpkins number!

Anyway, here's a shot at getting this across clearly:

The picking pattern for the verses is

String:   5   3   4   2      3   4
Timing:   1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &

The chords for the verses are
 C: X32010
G6: X20030
Am: X02210

C majorC G6G6 A minorAm G6G6

One measure of each, 4 measures per line of lyrics, over and over and over.

The verses are:

C majorC    G6G6       A minorAm    G6G6   etc, etc, etc.
Took my love...

Am7Am7  C majorC  G6G6  A minorAm

Chorus (you could strum this, or switch to a Cotton or Travis pick):

    G+G      A minorAm    C majorC
  Well I've been...
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G

1st time: A minorAm G+G A minorAm
2nd time: A augmentedA G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm

Back to the original picking pattern & chords:

Took my love...

Chorus (w/2nd ending)

Happy Picking :-)
