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

Title: Song for Julie

Transcribed by: Andrew Biles

This song is so quiet, well, the version I downloaded was, so it was quite

awkward to tab to say the least, but I had a go. There's not really much to

explain about the tab, there's a lead part that comes in over the rhythm just

before one minute in, and then it gets heavier towards the end which is where

the last part comes in.
