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

Just drop me a line and let me know what you think. I transcribed
this song in a way that only appears logical, unless of course
Geordie decided to use different open tunings, which I doubt very much!
Happy strummin'
