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

Comments: Um... All I can say is this song is REALLY FUCKING WEIRD!!! I really like this song, but playing it is very weird. It's not a necessarily difficult song, just really weird. REALLY weird. Don't believe me? Go ahead and play it. You'll see. Dumbass. You had that coming. If you spot a mistake, be a nice little boy and tell Uncle Chris. Later dudes and dudettes.
