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

Well she's fashionably lean, and she's fashionably late.

Verse 2 Rhy.Fig.1 x2

she's the queen of cool

And she's the lady who waits

Since her mind left school it never hesitates

She won't waste time on elementary talk.

Chorus 2(same music)

'Cause she's a twentieth century fox

She's a twentieth century fox

Got the world locked up inside a plastic box.
