there are several different free/ cheap lyrics and chord apps which all display perfectly on my fire tablet so I take that as evidence that it CAN be done. I guess apple store has similar ones. I would assume they are using reflowable html.
SITES LIKE ULTIMATE GUITAR have chord sheets and also tabs, and browser source code is viewable
tabs are done with 6 horizontal lines ( 1 per string) , containing fret numbers for notes +++++e.g.
------1------
------1----2--
--------------
--------------
--------------
--0---1---------

numbers that align vertically are notes to be played together. this needs to be rendered in monospace font which not all readers have; on PC courier new seems to be the font of choice

once again, I have seen it done well in tablet apps. I have not really bothered with e-ink tests.
