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

Song

Nothing Achieving:

------------------

Whenever there`s a dot under a note(.) you should

play it palm muted.Start a few compasses in silence

(voice) and then start singing.

My daddy`s boots don`t fit me...

E--------------------------------------------

B--------------------------------------------

G-------------------------------------------- x2

   D------2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2---2-2-2--5-4--------
   A------2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2---2-2-2--5-4--------
   E------0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0--3-2--------

P.mute . . . . . . . . . . .

He says I make him sick, well...

   E------0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0--3-2--------

. . . . . . . . . . .

I say there`s nothing worth achieving...

. . . . . . . .

Then invent a solo(it`s too difficult to tab),

and that`s all, I think.
