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

Tabbed by Jeffrey Swing/Christopher Preston

For the intro and verse riff, both notes are vibratos, about 3/4 to

1 whole step. The chorus is strummed, except for the last 3 notes, which are

plucked. For the rest at the interlude, Les fiddles with distortion for a

bit.
