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

I don't know what Les played this on, but I think it's his 4-string

fretted. The first note (10/\) is played like that through the whole song.

It's about a 1/4 (or 1/2 live) vibrato.
