I took my love and I took it down.
I climbed a moun tain and I turned a (Cm7)round.
And I (Eb)saw
my re flec tion in the
snow cov ered hills
till the (Eb)land
slide (Bb)brought
me down.
(Bb)Oh, (Eb)mir ror in the sky,
what is (Cm)love?
Can the child
with in my (Bb)heart
rise
a bove?
Can I (Eb)sail
through the (Bb)chang ing
(Cm7)o cean tides?
Can I
han dle the (Bb)sea sons
of
my
life?
Mm (Bb)mm,
I don’t (Cm7)know.
Mm mm,
mm (Bb)mm.
Well, I’ve
been
a (F7)fraid of chang

’cause I
(Eb)built my life
a round you.
But time makes you bold er.
(Gm7)Chil dren get old er and I’m
get ting old er,
(Cm7)too.
(Bb)So...
(Bb)I’ve been a
I’m
get ting old er,

(Bb)So
take this love,
take it down.
Oh,

if you see
my re flec tion in the (Cm7)snow cov ered hills,
well, the (Eb)land slide will (Bb)bring it
down,
down.
And if you see
my re flec tion in the snow
cov ered
hills,
well, may be
the (Eb)land slide ’ll (Bb)bring it
down.
Well, well,
the (Eb)land slide ’ll (Bb)bring it
down.
This page shows “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Eb at 100 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
This arrangement is a beautiful workout for smooth chord transitions in your right hand — you're juggling ten chords here, and several of them (Ebsus2, Fsus4, Cm7) differ by just one note from their parent shapes, so your fingers need to learn those small, precise shifts rather than big leaps. Your left hand follows an octave bass pattern, which at 100 BPM gives you a steady, grounding pulse — but don't let that lull you into autopilot; the real challenge is keeping that left hand relaxed and even while your right hand navigates the suspended and seventh chords. I'd suggest learning the right hand alone first, especially the Cm to Cm7 to Gm7 movement, since those voicings sit close together and it's easy to grab the wrong note when you're rushing. Once that feels natural, bring the left hand in at about 70 BPM and slowly build up speed. Use the sustain pedal gently — this is a melancholic ballad, so you want warmth, not mud. Change the pedal with each new chord. The spot most students stumble is the F7 to Bb transition, so loop that until it's automatic. This is the kind of song that will genuinely solidify your confidence with suspended chords and seventh shapes in a flat key — skills that transfer to dozens of other ballads.
