Beggers and Hangers On Slash's Snakepit "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" 1995 Tuning: Drop C# THIS IS THE CORRECT TUNING - just a half step down from Drop D C# G# C# F G# C# Intro (w/slide, Bridge Pickup, Clean) |---------------------------------||---------------------------------| |---------------------------------||---------------------------------| |---------------------------------||---------------------------3/5---| |-2/4/2-0-------0-------0---------||-2/4/2-0-------0-------0---3/5---| |---------0-2/3---0-2/3---0-2/3-0-||---------0-2/3---0-2/3---0-------| |---------------------------------||---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |-2/4/2-0-------0-------0---------| |---------0-2/3---0-2/3---0-2/3-0-| |---------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------| |-----3/2-0-----0-----0-----5/4-0-4/2-0---2/3-0-| |-2/3-------2/3---3/4---4/5-------------0-----0-| |-----------------------------------------------| Main Riff (No slide, Bridge Pickup, Distortion) *Now for live performances, which I've seen front row, Slash wears his slide on his ring for the whole song. In the music video you can see him at this point throw his slide up the air and switch to playing it with his fingers. If you choose to play it with the still on your finger, then just play the intro again with distortion. I prefer it because it sounds little more aggressive. |----------------------------||----------------------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------| |-3-2-0-----0-----0----------||-3-2-0-----0-----0----3-/-5-| |-------0-2---0-----0--------||-------0-2---0-----0--3-/-5-| |---------------3-----1/3-0--||---------------3------------| |----------------------------||--------------------------------| |----------------------------||--------------------------------| |----------------------------||--------------------------------| |-3-2-0-----0-----0----------||----3-2-0-----------5/3-0-3/2-0-| |-------0-2---0-----0--------||----------0-2/3-0---------------| |---------------3-----1/3-0--||1/3---------------5-------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------| |-3-2-0-----0-----0----------||-3-2-0-----0-----0----3-/-5-| |-------0-2---0-----0--------||-------0-2---0-----0--3-/-5-| |---------------3-----1/3-0--||---------------3------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------------------| |----------------------------||----------------------------------------| |-3-2-0-----0-----0----------||----3-2-0-----------5/3-0-3/2-0-------0-| |-------0-2---0-----0--------||----------0-2/3-0---------------0-2/3-0-| |---------------3-----1/3-0--||1/3---------------5---------------------| Verse/chords parts (no slide, neck pickup, clean) *It’s pretty tough to play this part (mainly Part III) if you keep the slide on your but from what I’ve seen myself and on videos, he just sucks it up and stretches.

I noticed there is no good for this song on the internet so I hope this helps a lot of people. I put a lot of time it, so let me know if you see anything that I’m not.
