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

That is pretty much the gist of the entire song minus the interlude. Sorry about

that. Don't forget that part one of the interlude is playing during the verse.

Thanks for reading.

This is my favorite song.
