I was given this as a lesson song by a folky-type teacher a few years back
when it was more widely known as a Stevie Nicks song.  I agree, it's a very
pretty one.  I've only caught just the end of the Smashing Pumpkins version
for the first time yesterday, but it sounded pretty similar (I thought it
*was* Stevie Nicks 'til I listed closer).  How cool - I used to just know
old, mellow stuff, now I can play a Smashing Pumpkins number!

Anyway, here's a shot at getting this across clearly:

The picking pattern for the verses is

String:     5     3     4     2           3     4          
Timing:     1     &     2     &     3     &     4     &

The chords for the verses are 
 C:  X32010
G6:  X20030
Am:  X02210

C G6 Am G6

One measure of each, 4 measures per line of lyrics, over and over and over.    

The verses are:

C       G6              Am       G6      etc, etc, etc.
Took my love...

Am7   C    G6    Am

Chorus (you could strum this, or switch to a Cotton or Travis pick):

        G           Am       C
   Well I've been...
G Am G Am
G Am C G

1st time: Am G Am

Back to the original picking pattern & chords:

Chorus (w/2nd ending)

Happy Picking  :-)
