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

[G6]

(Ska-style staccato upstrokes, ghost notes can also be muted strings, rests, or any other note in the chord, rather than the note indicated. This figure is played very quietly by guitar one and the bass and drums ride over it. When guitar two plays it, it is a lot louder.)
