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

Song

Stone Temple Pilots - 'Black Again'

'Shangri-La De Da' EP

tabbed by jjhand

Standard tuning, 6/8 time

I love this songs heavy sound, and how the bass figures into the melody.

I don't know why the other tabs had a bad intro riff and verse riff, but

here's the accurate one.
