Main Riff (No slide, Bridge Pickup, Distortion)
*Now for live performances, which I™ve been front row to; Slash wears his slide on his
ring finger for the whole song. In the music video you can see him at this point throw
his slide up in the air and switch to playing it with his fingers. If you choose to play it
with the slide, then just play the intro again with distortion. I prefer playing it
without because it sounds a little more aggressive.

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
hand, but from what I™ve seen myself and on videos, he just sucks it up and stretches. Must
be why he™s the best and I™m not.

Well I know, you couldn't love me
cause you're promised to a wealthy man
take a look, what are you seeing?
is that a noose or a wedding band
Should i go to see a healer
nervous twitchin' in my hands
nervous twitchin' in my head
God help me rid this feelin'
cause i'm fallin' to pieces
and i can't get out of bed
Beggars and hangers-on
try to take you from me
someone with a bible in his pocket
clouding everything you see
Beggars and hangers-on
they chip it away
bury your soul in the river
cause the end is here to stay
God help me rid this feelin'
cause i'm fallin' to pieces
and i can't get out of bed
I was wrong i don't need you
it seems reckless and unfair
better days
are far behind
guess that's another cross i'll have to bear
know that there's a time and a reason
to take the ghost and lock it up inside
and maybe i am down
but i'm not beaten
like anything
we were born to die
Beggars and hangers-on
try to take you from me
someone with a bible in his pocket
clouding everything you see
Beggars and hangers-on
they chip it away
bury your soul in the river
cause the end is here to stay
Beggars and hangers on
beggars and hangers on
no no no no
no no no no
no no no no
