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

Song

Don't Turn Your Back On Me

**Drop Tune Half Step**

Uses two guitars for most of it but can be changed for just one. The

solo, again, isn't accurate cause of speed and fx used.

~ = vibrato (shake note as if with whammy bar)

+ = bend for appropiate pitchshifts

h = hammer on following note then release back to original

/ = slide fret fingers to next note

Intro (Play two notes then stop them with your pick hand

before playing next two for the first 3 double note sets)
