Although the spacing isn't quite right here is an HTML table that roughly
works.  Generating it from XSL is another issue, since the total number of
columns would need to be calculated in advance.  Doing it with <PRE> and
character positions is (I think) roughly the same problem.

<table>
<tr> 
  <td> <tt> &nbsp; </tt> </td> 
  <td colspan='2'> <tt> Gb </tt> </td> 
  <td> <tt> Db/F </tt> </td> 
</tr>
<tr>  
  <td> <tt> I don't wanna </tt> </td> 
  <td colspan='2'> <tt> talk about things we've </tt> </td> 
  <td> <tt> gone through, </tt> </td> 
</tr>
<tr> 
  <td colspan='2'> <tt> &nbsp; </tt> </td> 
  <td> <tt> Abm/Eb </tt> </td> 
  <td> <tt> Db </tt> </td> 
</tr>
<tr> 
  <td colspan='2'> <tt> though it's hurting </tt> </td> 
  <td colspan='2'> <tt> me, now it's history. </tt> </td> 
</tr>
</table>
