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

Here is the rhythm guitar part for Jeff Beck's "You Know What I Mean"

off of his Blow By Blow record:

e|---7---5--------------7---5---------------------|
B|---5---5----6-6-5-----5---5--4/5-4/5------------|
G|---5---5----5-5-5-----5---5--4/5-4/5------------|
D|---5---5----4-4-4-----5---5--3/4-3/4------------|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

Make it extra funky.

The melody line (doubled by a synthesizer) goes something like:

(w) = whamy bar

e|----------10------------------------------------|
B|-10-12-13----10--14w(13)w(14)w(13)w(14)---------|
G|-----------------14w(13)w(14)w(13)w(14)---------|

For the solos you are on your own.
