Monkey Chow Written by Gilby Clarke For the Album: It's Five O'Clock Somewhere by SLASH's Snakepit Tabulature by Brian Feldstein (Thanks, Brian!) Intro bit: The left guitar plays A5 chords, each of two bar duration, while the right guitar goes: ---0-----------0-----0-----------0-------0-----------0-3/5\3~------- -----4-5p4---4---------4-5p4---4---2~------4-5p4---4---------------- -----------6-----------------6-------------------6------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------- -0-----------------0-------------------0---------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---0-----------0---------------------------------------------------- -----4-5p4---4---2~------------------------------------------------- -----------6-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -0------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------- The bass then takes over the lead, while the left guitar holds an A5 chord, and the right guitar holds the A string. Then both guitars slide down the A string from the twelfth fret, and the right guitar goes twice through... half -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---9-9-9-9-9~---8-8-8-8-8~---7-7-7-7-7~----/\-2--------------------- ---9-9-9-9-9~---8-8-8-8-8~---7-7-7-7-7~---5---2--------------------- --------------------------------------------------1h2--------------- -0------------0------------0------------0-------0------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- pm pm pm pm pm ...while the left guitar goes twice through... -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -2----8----7----2--------------------------------------------------- -2----8----7----2--------------------------------------------------- -0----6----5----0--------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- (note that there is a third guitar doing some cool bends in the background) Then the right guitar goes: half half ------/-----------------/------------------------------------------- -----5/----8-7-5-------5/----0-0-1---------------------------------- -7-7-5-----8-7-5---7-7-5-----0-0-1---------------------------------- -7-7---------------7-7---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- while the left guitar plays: -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -----3--------6-5-3------3------------------------------------------ -5-5----5-5-5--------5-5---5-5-5-2-3-4------------------------------ pm....................................

Well, that's the whole song, minus the solo bits (all you've got to do is play the right stuff at the right times). I am currently trying to tab the solos, but it's not easy. I think everything above is mostly correct, though I'm not totally happy with the right guitar chorus riff part or the left guitar part right after the solo. Notation: most of it's obvious, but notice that 5/ indicates a slide, while 5 indicates a bend (above the bend, there will also be an indication of how big it is). / Also, 5(5)indicates to hold the note first before you bend it. By an A5, I mean: ----- ----- -2--- -2--- -0--- -----
