Here are the Riffs with the song.

Intro:
Don’t go looking for snakes you might find them
Don’t send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven’t I seen you here before ?

Riff B:
Ohhh, watch the puppets dancin’
Yeah, see the clowns fall down
Hey, tie your tap shoes tightly
Yeah, and wear them into town

Riff C:
See you crawlin’…
See you crawlin’ in…

RIff D:
Don’t go looking for snakes you might find them
Don’t send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven’t I seen you here before ?
There ain’t no heroes here…no….no more

Hey hey hey
Riff B:
Oooh, play the game so nicely
Oh, check, its your move now
Yeah, we’re standing in this jungle
Yeah, with serpents I have found

Riff C:
See you crawlin’…
See you crawlin’ in…

Riff D:
Don’t go looking for snakes you might find them
Don’t send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven’t I seen you here before ?
Have your heroes disappeared?

Solo

Riff C:
See you crawlin’….
See you crawlin’ in….

Riff D:
So don’t go looking for snakes you might find them
Don’t send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven’t I seen you here before ?
No there ain’t no heroes here…….no no

Outro:
Haven’t I seen you here before ?
No there ain’t no heroes here.

Don’t go looking for snakes you might find them…
Haven’t I seen you here before?
Have your heroes disappeared?

Don’t send your eyes to the sun you might blind them…
James plays Riff E a couple times here.

If you want to learn Metallica Slither guitar chords, The 5 chords we’ll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major.
The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments.
Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart

The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play Slither. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it.
