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

Song

Shadows on the Mountainside - Tea Party

-- no picks! play with fingers only!!!

-- listen to the album to get the time/rhythm

-- tuning: drop D low to high -- D A D G B E

There's another guitar playing fill-in's that I didn't tab.

I think its a mandolin or classical guitar.
