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

and let life let him be

C

his daughter sat by his side most nights

G F

to keep him company

the wise man and the alcamist

looked over the charts and graphs

C G F

inconclusive, they're inconclusive, hopefully this will pass

G F

to try and live it up

C G

the morning sun and the alcamist

F C

watched the king make his first move

C

the king stood up, stretched a bit

G

said, i've got nothing to prove

G F C

C G

This tab isn't 100% correct but I think that its pretty close.
