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

G-------------------2-2-------------------------------|

D-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------|

Main Riff:

D-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------|
F-----------------------------------------------------|
C-0-8-7-3---8-8-8-------------------------------------| Play 8 times, then palm mute and
G-0-8-7-3---8-8-8-------------------------------------| play another 8 times.  Alternate between
C-0-8-7-3---8-8-8-------------------------------------| palm muting and non-muted for 2.5

cycles altogether, then:

A-5-4-2-2-3-2-------2-2-3-2---------------------------|
F-----------------5-5---------------------------------| Play 6 times
C-----------------------------------------------------|

Now play main riff (un-muted) 9 times, and after that I’m stumped as to what to play.
