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

Works best in Open G tuning: DBGDGD, from 1st (high) string to 6th (low)

string. All re-tuned strings are tuned down. Although there is little

or no use of the 1st & 6th strings I would still recommend tuning them

down to D. Note that the time signature changes from 4/4 to 6/8. The

strumming pattern is real easy though.

That's all I could be bothered with. The rest is just open 4th and

5th strings while improvising over the top with a 3rd string melody/solo.
