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

(Fill) (catchy one) These Harmonics are continuously played at parts:

e|--5-3\2--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------3-0----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------7+--------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------and-----7+--------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The song is long and unstructured, and I'm not prepared to type out every little

fill and harmonic. If you think there's any bit I didn't cover, learn it yourself. Shouldn't be hard.
