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

Here's another nice old-time fiddle tune, "The Growling Old Man and Old Woman,"
in an arrangement adapted from a hammered dulcimer arrangement. Some people
play the part I have labeled as Part B first.
Fiddlers usually play this in A, so capo at the second fret.
|-3-| is a triplet. (D/F) means "D or F." -1p0- means pull off from 1 to 0.
-3/4- means slide from 3 to 4.
