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

Artist: The Pillows

Album : FLCL Soundtrack

Song : Instant Music

Author: David Drew @ dclowd9901@hotmail.com

This is one of the more fun songs to play on the soundtrack.

You'll notice in hearing it that it sounds relatively simple

to play, because it is. I should note, however, that on the

chord rise in the solo, I pretty much half-assed it. Your

guess is as good as mine as to what those lower notes are...

Feel free to drop me a line if you figure it out.
