This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Rage Against the Machine - Testify
this one's for all you Rage fans out there
this was a tricky tab, especially since most of the other ones
are tabbed lazy or wrong or they don't sound right
this is my second tab, so enjoy
corrections are more than welcome
