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

Song

Ten Ton Hammer Bass

Tablature Explanation

h - hammer on

p - pull off

/ - slide up

\ - slide down

r - rest

b() - bend up to the equivalent fret (in brackets)

As usual, listen to the song to get the timing and repetitions of riffs.
