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

Song

"Toad"

by Cream Tabbed by:

Joe Ohlenbusch

Use a Bridge pickup on a little dull setting and lots of fuzz on a

tube amp and a little reverb.

Listen to song for correct timing.
