Big Love Lyrics
Looking out for love - In the night so still
Oh, I'll build you a kingdom - In that house on the hill
Lookin' out for love - Big, big love
You said that you love me - And that you always will
Oh, you begged me to keep you - In that house on the hill
Lookin' out for love - Big, big love
I wake up - Alone with it all
I wake up - But only to fall
Lookin' out for love - Big, big love
Just lookin' out for love - Big, big love

Big Love Guitar Tips
There are multiple versions and speeds of this song online and from Fleetwood Mac themselves. I don't particularly like the super fast versions so my speed here is probably what I would call medium.
The chords you'll need here are Am, Am/G, Am/F, G, F, Em, Am and the rhythm is a steady root down up down up down up and repeat with a few riffs throughout.
There is a section in here for a short picking break but some versions with Lindsay Buckingham will have longer drawn out breaks, so knock yourself out on how long to make this section if you add one into your version.

Big Love Official Video
The music video for Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love" was directed by Brian Grant and released in 1987. The video features Lindsey Buckingham, who wrote and performed the song, playing guitar with the band in various locations, in hallways and singing in a room filled with mirrors.
Throughout the video, Buckingham's performance is intercut with footage of various objects and shapes, including a crystal, a spinning top, and a kaleidoscope. The visuals are highly stylized and psychedelic, with vibrant colors and abstract shapes.
The "Big Love" video is known for its innovative use of visual effects and its striking imagery. It was nominated for three MTV Video Music Awards in 1987, including Best Art Direction, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography. Overall, the video is a memorable and visually stunning accompaniment to the song.
I was trying to find the location of this castle for the video as it was reported the video was shot somewhere in California. But it's not clear if this was a real location or a visual effect of sorts.
