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

E|----------------------------|

Verse 2 is the same riff as verse 1. Play it five times and then it starts doing

little variations that I'm not going to tab. It's not hard to figure out though.

Or you can just keep playing the main riff until it ends.
