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

************************************************************************

Poison Ivy does all kinds of weird stuff with her guitar on this song,

but the bass line is pretty much the same the whole way through except

for twice on the chorus. Simple, but it sounds really cool. This is

my first attempt at tabbing, but it sounds right to me, it might not be

perfect, but it's good enough. If you think it's a little wrong, deal

with it and figure out how's it's wrong. If you think it's way wrong,

please e-mail me.
