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

Song

This is the tab for Hungry Like The Wolf covered by Reel Big Fish with all the chords

lead licks/solos/riffs, finally! What a nice guy, I am. :P

This song has many changes and riffs in it, so I'm not going to tab it in sections, I'm

tab it all in one steady tab. Because of this, It might be a little easier to follow. I

many timestamps to dispel any confusion.
