Version 1 Version 2

            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                   Smashing Pumpkins
                                       Landslide
                                    Pisces Iscariot
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a beautiful song, and a very, very nice cover. Fairly simple, too. You can strum this
(which is how I play it) or you can pick it (for that, look at a tab. there are some very nice
ones, I just can't pick so I rarely waste time tabbing)It was originally a FleetWood Mac song
(Written by Stevie Nicks), but it's been covered by everyone from the Dixie Chicks and Reba
Mcentire to, obviously, the Smashing Pumpkins, the later of which we shall be learning.

SO! Without further Delay, we start.

[Intro]
C G6 G6* Am G6 G6* x2

[Verse 1]
C          G6           G6* Am   G6 G6*
 I took my love, I took it down
C            G6             G6*      Am   G6
 I climbed a mountain and I turned around
G6*   C      G6            G6* Am           
G6   G6*
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
 C                 G6     G6* Am G6
’til the landslide brought it down

[Verse 2] (Same as the first. No pause)
G6* C             G6       G6* Am    G6
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
G6*     C               G6      G6* Am   G6
Can the child within my heart rise above?
G6*   C                G6    G6* Am      G6
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
G6*   C          G6        G6* Am   G6
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
G6*C G6 G6* Am G6 G6*
Ah-hm

C G6 G6* Am Am/F#

[Chorus] (This may not be right >>)
      G           Am/F#        C
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing cause I've
Am       G           Am  Am/F#
Built my life around you
    G              Am/F#
But time makes you bolder
         C
Even children get older
    Am         G        Am
And I’m getting older, too

The landslide brought it down

G6* C          G6    G6*  Am  G6
The landslide brought it down
