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

This tab is note for note 100% correct. Although there is no
clear instruction of timing, the spacing between the numbers on
the tab does indicate a rough idea of the rhythm.
It is very easy to figure out however by just listening
to the track. Enjoy!

The final few bars that lead into the fade are just repeats of the two last
phrases. There appears to be no specific order, so just be creative.
