Palace of Bone - Pete Doherty, from his solo album 'Grace/Wastelands'
The lyrics should be pretty much spot on
The only chord I'm unsure of is the F in the chorusy bit, I think it helps if you only
the top four strings (i.e. leave out the F and C on the bass and play it from the F on
D-string)
There are a couple of riffs from the song at the bottom of the tab, they're not in the
thing cos it'd make it look messy
Anyway, enjoy! It's a great song =]
Standard Tuning
Intro: Am C C/B (listen to the song to work out the timings, but Am is one bar and C -
is another whole bar)
AmWe've been a long Ctime toC/Bgether
AmTime together on a sCnakey C/Broad
AmThere ain't no Ctime spent toC/Bgether
Like Amtime spent toCgether on a sC/Bnakey road
Break: Am C C/B
AmWinding on through the Chills togC/Bether
AmWinding on that sCnakey C/Broad
AmWinding Con forC/Bever
AmWinding Con that sC/Bnakey Amroad
FWhat's that they're telling you,
Your fEuture? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket too
Break: Am C C/B
WAme've been a long tCime togC/Bether
AmTime together on a sCnakey C/Broad

Break: Am C C/B
AmWinding on through the Chills togC/Bether
AmWinding on that sCnakey C/Broad
AmWinding Con forC/Bever
AmWinding Con that sC/Bnakey Amroad
FWhat's that they're selling you,
ELotions, potions? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket or two
AmAnd in the clearing...

guitar anyway)
