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

Subject: TAB: The Fisherman by Leo Kottke
The Fisherman
Leo Kottke
from 6 + 12 String
order: A (2X)
B (2X)
C (2X)
D (2X)
E (1X)
A (2X)
This song is one of the few Leo Kottke compositions
which uses an ordinary alternate bass finger-picking
style. It is also one of the few that I can wrap my
head around and get a reasonable transcription of.
All sections A-D are to be played twice. Often the
second run is slightly different from the first. For
the differences between the first and second runs that
are not fully transcribed, I have shown the notes to
be played in the second run in brackets.
