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

Song

From alberto.tota@galactica.it

subject: BASS TAB Bad Boys Running Wild by Scorpions

The first line is a little boring, anyway Scorpions use simple straight bass

lines like the one of the old rock tradition.
