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

This is my own arrangement of the jazz standard "Mean to Me" by Fred Ahlert
and Roy Turk. I have arranged it with an alternating base beat. If
you're not familiar with this great song, a nice vocal rendition of this
was done by Linda Ronstadt on her "Lushlife" recording. If you enjoy this,
I'd appreciate an e-mail note, just to let me know this hasn't disappeared
into the ether.
