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

Book Of Thel - Bruce Dickinson

Tabbed by: maidenbridge666
Tuning: DADGBE
Im tabbing this out how i usually play it.
All the other tabs on this site are wrong imo.
When i play this along to the album it sounds pretty much dead on but any comments
and corrections would be welcome.
Awesome Song btw!! UP THE BRUCE!!
(Sorry if its a bit cramped. This is my only my 2nd tab so i'm not used to tabbing stuff out yet)
