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

Greg Lake: I believe in Father Christmas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Works II/Return of the
Manticore
Transcription by: Rainer Boettchers (boettchers.pad@sni.de)
Paderborn/Germany, July 1996
Tuning: DADGBE (DropD)
Comments: The guitar parts of IBIFC on Works II and Return of
the Manticore are the same. Some chords seems rather
strange but in most cases I am certain Greg plays it
that way. Hard work to write it down ... took me some
hours, the rest is up to you.
h=half, q=quarter, e=8th, s=16th, s^=16th triplets
THIS SONG ALSO AVAILABLE IN TABESTRY FORMAT (.TBS)
