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

Alex does some cool hard-rock fills EVERYWHERE thru the music

that are hard for me to get, but they are all variations

of the first Fill, you can improvize and make your own

Lifeson Fill :)

Keep repeating the MAIN RIFF and adding some fills around :)

until..

"No one to stick with you till the eeeeeend..."

Take yourself a friend

Keep'em till the end, ooh ooh
