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

Keep playing this while singing the lyrics..

Upon a secret journey

I met a holy man

His blindness was his wisdom

I'm such a lonely man

and as the world was turning

It rolled itself in pain

this does not seem to touch you

he pointed to the rain
