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

This is another slippery Holdsworth composition. Good stuff
in the lead...And again there's some difficult stretches,
be sure to keep the slurs smooth.
Hold 4 bars

1st 3rd Verses Play Rhy Fig 1
I can see miles and miles away, movin' along this southern bay
Seems like the road can go on forever and ever and ever
verse 3
Guilty road is gaining light, shiver and chills, my body fights
Everything's plain but the grass is still greener
forever and ever
Chorus (Rhy Fig 2)

Chorus:
These are road games, silent road games
2nd Verse play Rhy fig 1
Heat of the sun is in my brain, day turns to night, I feel the pain.
Eyes are so tired they're just turnin into water, to water, to water.
