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.
