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

Song

Kill Yr. Idols tab

This has quite an odd tune setting which is quite hard to work out:

Use the 4th string on normal tuning to tune to G, the 3rd string to tune to D

and the top string to tune to Eb and G.

Intro:

G  |--0-0---------------0-0-------------|
Eb |--0-0---------------0-0-------------|
D  |--0-0---5-5---5-5---0-0---6--^--6--^|
D  |--0-0---5-5---5-5---0-0-------------|
G  |--0-0---------------0-0-------------|
G  |--0-0---------------0-0-------------|

Verse/Chorus:

G  |--0-0---------------0-0--|
Eb |--0-0---------------0-0--|
D  |--0-0---1-1---1-1---0-0--|
D  |--0-0---1-1---1-1---0-0--|
G  |--0-0---------------0-0--|
G  |--0-0---------------0-0--|

Improvise the noise grunge part

BASS PART:

Intro/Verse/Chorus:

D  |------------------------------------------|
D  |------------------------------------------|
G  |-------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------|
G  |--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------|

Noise solo:

D  |--------------------------------------|
D  |--------------------------------------|
