what does this mean when it is in notation. As an example, 'Pretty Woman` by Roy Orbison.
Chord symbols reflect overall harmony?

Generally, yes the chord symbols might indicate the overall harmony implied by a riff or line. For example the main riff in that tune might have E, or E7, or even E9, because the riff contains (& implies) all the notes of those chords even though the full chord is not played. Is that the specific example you are referring to?
