Landslide by the Dixie Chicks (acoustic version)

*Please note - there are many instruments on the recording but this is
a version designed to play acoustically on guitar. So it won't sound
exactly like the recording but it works pretty good and is not overly
difficult to play cause you are basically picking the chords.

There is a sound clip of me playing this posted on www.countrytabs.com
(look under Dixie Chicks) if you want to get a better idea of the
timing and how it sounds.
