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

(Live Performance)

In live performances, Slash plays around the general structure of this solo, but not note-for-note.

On the Houston DVD, for the difficult hammer-on parts (above), he simpllifies it into the following:

e|---------------7-7h8h10-8h10h12-10h12h13-10h12h13-|
B|-5h6h8/10-8h10------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|

In Tokyo, he played:

e|-------5h7h8-7h8/10-7h8h10-8h10/12-8h10h12-10h12/13-10h12h13-|
B|-5h6h8-------------------------------------------------------|
