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

I submitted the other tab of GLG, but I ran through it one more time

and found some things to fix, so here's an updated version.

If you're looking at this then bless you for liking good rock and roll.

^ - slight bend

* - major bend

p - pull off

h - hammer on

/ - slide up

~ - vibrato

There's a fast strumming pattern throughout the song

with a lot of palm mutes (especially during the opening)

you'll get the hang of it.
