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

Im not quite sure about the Main Riff, It could be played better with 2 guitars, someone playing the power chords on the background and the other one the leading riff. I think that in the song the riff includes many slides from one note to another, hear the song and play it as you please :-D
I'll add the final solo ASAP.
