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

^really cool run down

the reason i like the run down is when you start again it sounds like part of the run down.

Try some varitations using the notes such as

G---------7-7-9-7---|
D-----9-9---------9-|
A-7-7---------------|
E-------------------|

Just have fun with this like every other musican has.
