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

SPIDER MAN (Intro / Solo) - The Ramones

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By: Ian 'Stu' Graham

This is how my band performs the Ramone's version of Spider Man. The chords

in the other posted tab are correct, but this (I find) is a much easier way

to play the solo, and I've included a tab for the intro bass (or is it guitar?)

line. That little riff can also be played over the chords if you've got two

guitars, by shifting the first note to the root of the chord. It's based in a

C# minor scale. I'm not too good at tabbing rhythms, just play the same rhythm

as the vocals, and you'll do fine.
