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

Song

The w's - Frank

================

Off the album 'Fourth from the Last'

Tabbed by the bass playing sheep

All the bass tabs for The W's are long 'cause Todd has all these minor variations..

...cool, but annoying to tab!

Have fun
