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

Song

Guano Apes - Big in Japan

-------------------------

Figured out and tabbed by Felix Pflaum

It's not a typical Guano Apes-Song but it's cool and easy to play

NOTE: Guano Apes plays this song with guitar and bass tuned down 1/2 step

and the bass is very loud during the verse. I just give the line in 8th notes,

create your own rhythm or simply play eighth notes.

Intro/Chorus/Bridge

===================

Gb|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
Db|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
Ab|---------3-3-3-3-|-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-|-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|

Then there's a part after the second chorus, which goes:

Eb|-0-0-0-0---------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

OK, the structure shouldn't be a problem for you!
