Landslide by Smashing Pumpkins (yet another...)
FIRST: Tune the high E string (i.e. thinnest string) down to a D.
I did this because I think I can hear the highest note of the first
chord played on two different strings (based on the tone quality).
You don't need to do this, as long as you don't try to play this string.

My attempt at the solo:
p = pull-off
s = slide
(9)b8 = finger on eighth fret, but string is initially bent to produce
ninth fret sound

CHORUS
More VERSES
Ok this is the best rendition of the Smashing Pumpkins version of
"Landslide" I have so far. This was done at work from memory
Without my guitar so I may have messed up the chorus some, but I
think it's correct.

Then repeat the last two bars for
"Built my life around you...
Time makes you older even children get older... and
I'm getting older too...
