no, chords can be tabbed out too.

Here is an example:
Aldrine's "Red and Silky"

Code:

A|---------------5--s-7-s--5-------------------- 
E|----3----------5--s-7-s--5--------------------
C|----2----------5--s-7-s--5--------------------
G|------------------------------------------------

A|------------------------------------------------ 
E|-----------5BEND--3-----3--3-s-5-----------
C|----2-------------------4----------------------
G|------------------------------------------------

A|---------------5--s-7-s--5-------------------- 
E|----3----------5--s-7-s--5--------------------
C|----2----------5--s-7-s--5--------------------
G|------------------------------------------------

A|------------------------------------------------ 
E|-----------5BEND--3-----3--3-s-5-s-3------
C|----2-------------------4----------------------
G|------------------------------------------------[
