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

The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make?
Bass Tab by Josh
Great song. Listen to the track for timing and rhythm.
This is the live version in C# (Guitarist with capo 4), the album version is in B
(Guitarist with capo 2).
So if you're playing this in B, just transpose everything a whole step down
(everything down 2 frets)
