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

Miscellaneous info:
Note: In the transcription of the chorus, the moving parallel thirds
on the 2nd and 3rd strings are the piano part, presented for
information and completeness. I don't mean to suggest that
both parts be played by one guitarist (certainly not when it
gets to the [35576-]).
