This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Here's TAB for Sally Goodin, a traditional fiddle tune, and a
Texas-style/Western Swing accompaniment for it. This is from the
article "Swinging With Sally Goodin" by Jim Wood, from the Sept/Oct
1990 issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine.
I have TABbed the melody as if it were played in G. The accompaniment
is in A, though, so you'll have to capo at the second fret to make the
melody work with the accompaniment. It's in 2/4. So each "|" above the
staff represents an eighth note.
Melody:
(Don't worry about the chord symbols - fingerings are given below.
D#o7 means D# diminished 7th.)

OK - now the accompaniment. Note the nice walking bass lines. The
whole thing is done bass-strum, bass-strum, etc.
