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

Modern Love
by Peter Gabriel
off Peter Gabriel (1977)
NOTE: I think Tony Levin used a 5-string (Music Man, no doubt) on this,
which would make the arpeggio-like run up to high C in the chorus
a bit easier. Then again, it's Tony Levin...
