Tuning: E A D G B E

Here's a tab for "Palace Doctor" by Thee Oh Sees. I've also written the chords which coordinate with the tab above each line. The final chord on each line (G) happens during a unique pattern, so I'll call it G*. If you're playing the chords, G* isn't actually any different. All of the corresponding chords are barred. The song sounds best with the chords played in the background.
