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

Jerry does some variations with each pass but this gives the basic
structure of the song.
Now all you have to do to sound just like Jerry is play this song at
"warp 8" (for those of you who never watched "Star Trek" that means
REALLY fast!!)
