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

Fill
It seems unfair when the power is there
Its possessors just misuse it
To save the race we need to trace
The source of power and fuse it
Fill
To communicate if it's not too late
With those that won't abuse it
Enlightened minds all seem to find
The vehicle is music
Fill
Bridge.
