TeX variants
There are a number of TeX variants and no doubt one would have been made for guitar tabs.
Long long ago in a galaxy far far away I used 'musixtex' - but that it used for piano and orchestral arrangements - I can't recall if it did guitar tabs as well.
It takes a few days of playing with before you're used to it, but there are numerous examples to play with.
These are professional music typesetting software - they will shit all over any word processor's pathetic attempts at setting music.
There is also 'musictex' (but I can't remember the difference between music and musix now) and on Debian you can install 'texlive-music' to get musictex and sample guitar tabs.
