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

I didn't worry for the rythmic parts.Those are only

chords played very slow.I left two forms up here to

fill with them,if you need.

It seems to me quite correct,also the solo.

I hope this will be useful.
