Guitar tabs for Purify by Placebo
from their new album 'Loud Like Love'.
I worked this out partly by ear and from
watching live footage of the band playing,
so it may not be 100% accurate (especially for the chorus)
Tuning:EADGBE
Also when I play it, I use an octaver set to an octave higher
Intro:
[] harmonics
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------[5]-[5]-[5]---------------------------|
D|------------[5]-[5]-[5]-----------[5]-[5]-[5]----------------|
A|-[5]-[5]-[5]-------------------------------------------------|5]-[5]-[5]-[5]

Only play octave notes after the second repeat
I think Brian just plays the bass notes on those power chords, but I'm not certain on it.

Same as 1st x8
2nd Chorus
Same as 1st x4
