The bass follows the guitar the whole time except on the Bridge (Clean)

This song is pretty sick to play when just messing around. If you see any screw ups or
something wrong, email me the corrections.

This an accurate (at least I`m pretty sure) tab for the song Naked Lunch,
off the Age of Reptiles album.

Intro/Verse:

e------------------------------------
b------------------------------------
g------------------------------------
d--------------------9999-9-9-9999-9-
a--9999-9-9-9999-9-9-7777-7-7-7777-7-
e--7777-7-7-7777-7-7-7777-7-7-7777-7-

continue repeating this part. Right after the bass comes in…

e--------------------------------------
b--------------------------------------
g--------------------------------------
d--------------------7777-7-7----------
a--9999-9-9999-9999--5555-5-5-7777-7-7-
e--7777-7-7777-7777-----------5555-5-5-

Then return to the original riff.

Chorus:
F#5 E5 (low E…022xxx)
B5 D5 E5 (high E…x799xx)

Here is the riff that Matt plays right after the chorus:

e------------------------------------
b------------------------------------
g------------------------------------
d---------4-2-0--------2-0-----------
a--22-0-2-------22-0-2-----4-22-0-2--
e------------------------------------

The bass plays alone for most of the verse, then the guitar comes in later
and continues the verse riff back into the chorus. After the chorus is the
solo. I don`t have a guitar with me right now so I can`t tab that out, but
there is another tab out there for it. Not sure of where it is, but you can
Google “showbread naked lunch solo tab” and you should find in one of the
first results.

After the solo, finish the song with the chorus and repeat twice.
