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

The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today.

I know it's easier to walk away than look in in the eye.

And I will raise a shelter to the sky.

Solo: Requires a single slap-back delay of ~200-300 ms. My timing isn't
good enough to get it sounding right, or indeed work out exactly
what is being played. What's below is a rough idea of what I think
is going on. To confuse matters even further it sounds as though
there are regular pull-offs onto the open G. Knowing what John
Petrucci is capable of, he probably didn't even use a delay !
