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

some of these notes are quite fast
* Note that you can play this either by sliding up an octave (which
can be tricky for beginners) or by playing the octave of the A on the
D string. (No slide and D, fret 7 instead of 17). The original uses
a slide.
