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

Coasting by Gary Hoey

>From the album Bug Alley

Tab by Sean Kasun (seank@u.arizona.edu)

This is actually a pretty layered song. One layer sounds like the following

which he fades in at the beginning:

muted

|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------8------------------------------------------------------|
|-6-9-6-9-6-9-6-9---9-6-9-6-9-...----------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The main background arpeggio is this (which is repeated throughout):

|----2---------2--------2--------2---------------------------------------|
|-4----2---------2--2h4---2--------2--2h4-...----------------------------|
|----------3h4---------------3h4-----------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then the lead breaks out after a few seconds:

|------------|
|-9h11~------|
|------------|
|------------|
|------------|
|------------|

Coda

|-13----13-11-10\8~-----------------------------|
|-------------------11\8~-----------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|

go to coda, solo, repeat.
