This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Rush - II Under the Shadow
Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies;
The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes.
He views all his lands and is already aware -
Of the three helpless invaders trapped in his lair...

With [Riff 1] x4:
Brooding in the tower, watching o'er his lands.
Holding every creature, helplessly they stand.
Gaze into his prisms, knowing they are near.
Lead them to the dungeons.
Spectres numb with fear, they bow defeated.

[Guitar Solo] - in the key of G
Sorry folks, it's just too fast for me.
But here is the end to part II:
e|----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------| G|o--------------------------------------------------------o| D|o--------------------------------------------------------o| A|-----------------------------------3----------------------| E|-3h5-5-5-5--3h5-5-5-5--3h5-5-5-5------0--3----------------|
This also happens to be the bassline during the last solo.
