In tablature, chords begin directly under the first letter in the chord
name. Consequently, it is sometimes necessary to use more than one line
of text when identifying chord names and placement, due to the fact that
chord names will often overlap one another. Chords appearing on adjacent
lines in the text should be treated as if they were all on the same line
with their names superimposed over one another; with each chord's occurence
in the tab indicated by the first letter of the chord name.
(Nx) above and to the left of block of chords means repeat block N times
(Nx) at end of line means repeat line N times
