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

Notes

~ = hold

/ and \ = slide up and down

On verse fig. 2 what is tabbed is him playing

the root note, and the same note an octave

higher and holding them, then sliding them both

down at once to the low end of the fretboard.

the rest should be self-explanatory.
