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

Song

Into The Mystic by Van Morrison

Tabbed by R. Allen Canterbury.

The bassist for Morrison changes the main line around a bit. I have tabbed

out the entire thing, including the little changes, but it's a long

transcription. You can use this to figure out the basic line, and change it

around as you wish.
