This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
U2 - Mysterious ways (Popmart! live version)
Graham Maskill - maskill@gem99.fsnet.co.uk
(Sorry-I made a cock-up in the last transcription with Verse 1, not with the tab but with the typing)
If you're playing along to the tape/video of popmart! don't forget to tune down 1/2 a step.

Then chorus as before.
