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

Song

"Swing"

ani difranco

to the teeth

g---------------------------------------------

d-------------------------------------------

a----------------------8--10---------------

e---5h6----6h10--------------------------

the "weary as water" part goes like this:

g----------------------------------------------------

d----------------------------------------------------

a---------------------------5h8--------------------

e---------10-/-1-\-6---------------6---------------

when you return to the main riff, start alternating that with this:

g---------------------------------------------

d--------------------------------------------

a----------------------8----------------------
e---5h6----6h10--------------3------------

or this:

g-----------------------------------------------

d-----------------------------------------------

a----------------------------------------------

e---5h6----6h10--------1---3---------------

lead into the next part (the "diggin' on the sound" part) with this:

g---------------------------------------------

d-------------------------------------------

a--------------------------------------------------8-------10
e---6--------6--10-------10--6------10--------------------

for the first part of the rap, play g's (fifth fret on the d string) on the upbeat. When he says: "Jam", you switch to this riff:

g-------------------------------------------------

d--5-------------------------5-------------------
a-------5-h-8--------------------5-h-8-----
e-----------------6---------------------------------6-6-6-6--

and end the song that way.

h=hammer-on
