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

Comments: In hindsight, if someone asked me to tab this song, I would tell them "Fuck no!" But, I already started, so I might as well finish, right? Well, this song is fucking weird, and some of the riffs are very inconsistent, which was intentional on the band's part, I'm sure. They just wanted to fuck up the tabbers mind, in this case, mine, and they succeeded quite well. Anyway, here it is. If you spot a mistake, either point it out to me (no) or send me the correction (yes). Later, Sears Appliance Salesmen and FuncoLand Con-Artists.
