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

This Is Yesterday
from The Holy Bible.
I visited this site and realised that the best song ever written was tabbed incorrectly, so, here is the proper, although not quite finished, version.
intro:-
E-|---------------------------|-------------------------| B-|---------------------------|-------------------------| G-|-9--7----2--0--4-----------|-9--7----2--0--4---4---4-| D-|-9--7----2--0--5---------5-|-9--7----2--0--5-----5---| A-|------------------5-5ho7---|-------------------------| E-|---------------------------|-------------------------| E-|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------| B-|-7-----5-------3-------5-----|--7-----5--------------------------| G-|---7-----5-------0-------5---|----7-----5-----2-2--2-------0---2-| D-|-----5-----5---------------5-|------5-----5---0-0--0--0ho2---0-0-| A-|-------------------3---------|-----------------------------------| E-|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
verse:-
E-|---------------------------|-------------------------| B-|---------------------------|-------------------------| G-|-9--7----2--0--4-----------|-9--7----2--0--4---4---4-| D-|-9--7----2--0--5---------5-|-9--7----2--0--5-----5---| A-|------------------5-5ho7---|-------------------------| E-|---------------------------|-------------------------| E-|-----------------------------|-----------------------------| B-|-7-----5-------3-------5-----|-7-----5-------3-------5-----| G-|---7-----5-------0-------5---|---7-----5-------0-------5---| D-|-----5-----5---------------5-|-----5-----5---------------5-| A-|-------------------3---------|-------------------3---------| E-|-----------------------------|-----------------------------| E-|---------------------------|-------------------------| B-|---------------------------|-------------------------| G-|-9--7----2--0--4-----------|-9--7----2--0--4---4---4-| D-|-9--7----2--0--5---------5-|-9--7----2--0--5-----5---| A-|------------------5-5ho7---|-------------------------| E-|---------------------------|-------------------------| E-|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------| B-|-7-----5-------3-------5-----|--7-----5--------------------------| G-|---7-----5-------0-------5---|----7-----5-----2-2--2-------0---2-| D-|-----5-----5---------------5-|------5-----5---0-0--0--0ho2---0-0-| A-|-------------------3---------|-----------------------------------| E-|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
chorus type bit:-
E-|-------------------------------------------------| B-|----12-------12-------12----10-------10-------10-| G-|-------------------------------------------------| D-|-------12-------12-------------12-------12-------| A-|-10-------10-------10----10-------10-------10----| E-|-------------------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------------| B-|----8------8------8----7------7------7-| G-|---------------------------------------| D-|------9------9-----------9------9------| A-|-10-----10-----10---10-----10-----10---| E-|---------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------| B-|---5-----5-----5---3-----3-----3-| G-|-----5-----5---------0-----0-----| D-|---------------------------------| A-|-3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3---| E-|---------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------| B-|---5-----5-----5---3-----3-----3-| G-|-----5-----5---------0-----0-----| D-|---------------------------------| A-|-3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3---| E-|---------------------------------| E-|-------------------------------------------------| B-|----12-------12-------12----10-------10-------10-| G-|-------------------------------------------------| D-|-------12-------12-------------12-------12-------| A-|-10-------10-------10----10-------10-------10----| E-|-------------------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------------| B-|----8------8------8----7------7------7-| G-|---------------------------------------| D-|------9------9-----------9------9------| A-|-10-----10-----10---10-----10-----10---| E-|---------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------| B-|---5-----5-----5---3-----3-----3-| G-|-----5-----5---------0-----0-----| D-|---------------------------------| A-|-3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3---| E-|---------------------------------| E-|-----------------------------------| B-|---5-----5-------------------------| G-|-----5-----5----2-2--2-------0---2-| D-|----------------0-0--0--0ho2---0-0-| A-|-3-----3-----3---------------------| E-|-----------------------------------|
Repeat verse and chorus parts, then it's the solo:-
E-|-------------------------------------------------------- B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|-4/16-16-16-16-16\14-14-14-14\12-12-12-12\11-11-11-11\9-
D-|-------------------------------------------------------- A-|-------------------------------------------------------- E-|-------------------------------------------------------- E-|---------------------------------------------------- B-|---------------------------------------------------- G-|-9-9-9\7-7-7-7\5-5-5-5\4-4-4-4bu5rb4-2-4-2---------- D-|--------------------------------------------7/9-7-5- A-|---------------------------------------------------- E-|--------------------------------------------5/7-5-3- E-|----------------------------------------------- B-|----------------------------------------------- G-|-5/9-12-11-9-11-11ho12po11-11po9-------------9- D-|---------------------------------12po9---12---- A-|----------------------------------------------- E-|----------------------------------------------- E-|---------------------------------------------
B-|-10po8-8/10-10/12-12/15-15/20-20\17-20bu22\\-
G-|--------------------------------------------- D-|--------------------------------------------- A-|--------------------------------------------- E-|---------------------------------------------
Then it's back to the chorus bit.
Ending:-
I'm not sure, play something in G.
