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

Portrait of Tracy By: Jaco Pastorius
==========================================
NOTES:
- Regularly notated notes are harmonics
- Fretted notes are notated as n*
- 3+ means harmonic played at approx. 0.25 of the
distance 3rd-4th fret above the 3rd fret (find
out on your own instrument at which position the
harmonic is at it's loudest).
- 2++ means harmonic played halfway between the 2nd
and 3rd fret
- 2&6 means push 2nd position down to fret (index
finger) and play harmonic at 6th position
(little finger).
