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

This is a song with walking bass in it.Paul Simonon variates at the end very

much.I don't tab every lick nd stuff but anyway,most of it.If you know to improvite,you know the chords.
