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

Song

Artist: Jimmy Eat World

Album: Clarity

Song: A Sunday

This is one of the best songs by J.E.W., even though all of their songs are excellent.

FYI- The song is in D tuning. In RIFF B, the first version is the album version, the second

is the way I like to play it. Pick one, both sound good.
