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

Tabbed by Christopher Preston

This is played on a 6 string frettless, but I've figured it out

on a 4 string fretless. It can be done on a fretted, but it doesn't

sound as good. Drop the "E" to "D", and finger each note, until the

intro/verseriff, which is slapped. The chorus is fingernail strummed,

with the low note slapped.
