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

Album: The World According to Gob

As tabbed by Joe Muggah

My other version of this is terribly wrong, mostly because

of my lack of an e-string, but here is the better version.

This is the way they played it live from what I saw too.
