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

Song

Artist: Twisted Sister

Title: The Kids Are Back

Album: You can't stop Rock N' Roll

Written by: Dee Snider

Tabbed by: Schadi (SchadhauserFlo@aol.com)

Key of Gm

Tuning: normal (E A D G B e)

The timing should be (almost) right(except the solo main part) !

There is also a cover from "Nashville Pussy", but they play it the same way.
