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

play it 3x

then you need 2 guitars, if you play along with the song,

just choose one, they both sound good.

4* = no real bend, just pressing real hard is enough

4^ = bend and release 1/2 step

[Chorus] 2x, I think the second time they hit every chord just 4 times,

instead of 8, but I’m not sure

Tip: if you have a gibson or gibson-type guitar (epiphone) with the large

switch for the 2 elements and don’t have any pedals to switch the distortion,

just put the rhythm-volume on 2 and the treble volume on 10, then put you

amplifier on half distortion. You can use the rhythm for the verses and

treble for the chorus and the hard part of the last verse. have fun.
