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

Slash & Kravitz

Tune half step down

VERSE - Main riff

This is doubled by a second riff:

|--x-x-x-x-x-x-5-x-7---x-x---x-5h7--x-x-x-x-x-x-5-x-7----------------|

There's a variation on the main riff now and then, and it goes:
