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

Song

The verse lick goes like this:

1-3. 4. 5-6.

e|--------------------------|-------|----------|-----------|--|
B|--------------------------|-------|----------|-----------|--|
G|-----------------2--------|-------|----------|-----------|--|
D|--2--------2-----2--------|-------|----------|-----------|--|
A|--2--------------0--0-3-4-|-0-----|-0-5--0-6-|-0h3p0-----|--|
E|--0--0-3-4---3-4----------|---3-4-|----------|-------3-4-|--|

The 1-3 is the ending of the lick for times 1-3, 4. for the 4th,

etc. After the sixth time it goes

e|------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------9-7--5--4--5-5--|
G|--------------------------------------------9-8--6--4--6-6--|
D|--2--------2-----4--4-------4-----7-7-7---------------------|
A|--2--------------4--4-----4---6-4-7-7-7---------------------|
E|--0--0-3-4---3-4-2--2-5/6---------5-5-5-etc-----------------|

The chorus chords are

e|----------------|-------------------------------------|-----|
B|----------------|-------------------------------------|-----|
G|--6--6--2--2--4-|-----------------9-------------------|-----|
D|--6--6--2--2--4-|-2-4--4-5-6-7-9--9--9-11-9---------2-|-----|

E|----------------|-0-2--2-3-4-5-7--0---------3/4-------|-----|

Then back to the verse and chorus, etc. The solo goes something

like this, but there's two guitars and I only did one.
