This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

8Stops7 - Esteem

From - 'In Moderation', 'Birth of a Cynic'

Tabbed by Aaron Brook - chooka37@hotmail.com

This tab is pretty much based on the original version of the song as heard on 'Birth of a Cynic' but the revised version is still played the same way.
