Purity
------
tabbed by Pavel Doujnikov for
Slipknot - 3DBlasphemy (http://3dblasphemy.genxer.net)...
I've been wanting to tab this song for ages but couldn't figure out the chorus.
Finally, i got something close to it, but still not perfect. The other riffs
are fine. You probably know the meaning behind this song, but for those who don't
I'll tell ya. Its about a girl Purity Knight (i think!) who gets kidnapped and
burried alive in this box by a psyco. He sends clues to police daring them to find
her while keeping her alive, giving her food (the lyircs "I can't die"). Anyways
later on a boy finds her and while he is away telling his parents she suffocates.
Or something like that.
Tuning: 1 and a half steps down then drop D (B-F#-B-E-G#-C#)
Key:
pm = palm mute
spm = slight palm mute
p = pull off
h = hammer on
~ = vibrato
x = dont play this string
^ = bend up
/ = slide
Note: there are no 10's and 11's unless stated!!!
