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

Dancing Undercover - John Cale
I saw John performing in September 2000 at Leffingeleuren (Belgium). A friend
of mine recorded the show on minidisc. After listening to this song, I could
figure out the general riffs for the song. I don't have the text, but if you
know the song, you shouldn't have any problems with the lyrics I hope.
Intro and Verses:
Eb Mute Ab Mute Eb Mute Ab Mute
e|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|--8--x-x-x-x-x--5--x-x-x-x-x-----8--x-x-x-x-x--5--x-x-x-x-x-----| D|--8--x-x-x-x-x--6--x-x-x-x-x-----8--x-x-x-x-x--6--x-x-x-x-x-----| A|--6--x-x-x-x-x--6--x-x-x-x-x-----6--x-x-x-x-x--6--x-x-x-x-x-----| E|--6--x-x-x-x-x--4--x-x-x-x-x-----6--x-x-x-x-x--4--x-x-x-x-x-----|
Repeat tab throughout the verse.
Jump into the chorus with an F major (barre) chord:
e|--1-1-1-1-1-1---/--| B|--1-1-1-1-1-1---/--| G|--2-2-2-2-2-2---/--| D|--3-3-3-3-3-3---/--| A|--3-3-3-3-3-3---/--| E|--1-1-1-1-1-1---/--|
Chorus:

You're dancing under_____cover

Repeat tab throughout the chorus, except the last time, which goes F Ab Bb.
The song ends live with the Eb chord.
I hope you get the basic structure of the song by this tab.
