Palace Of Bone by Pete Doherty
Palace Of Bone
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)
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)
Am C C/B
We've been a long time together
Am C C/B
Time together on a snakey road
Am C C/B
There ain't no time spent together
Am C C/B
Like time spent together on a snakey road
Break: Am C C/B
Am C C/B
Winding on through the hills together
Am C C/B
Winding on that snakey road
Am C C/B
Winding on forever
Am C C/B Am
Winding on that snakey road
F
What's that they're telling you,
E
Your future? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket too
Break: Am C C/B

What's that they're selling you,

Lotions, potions? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket or two
Am
And in the clearing...
MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)
I'm going to build me a palace of bone
Dm E
With wide open walls and an ebony throne

And all the broken children
Dm E
From every broken home

Can all come and live in the palace of bone
Break: Am C C/B, occasionally mixed up with BREAK RIFF (see bottom of tab)
MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)
I'm going to build me a palace of bone

With wide open walls and an ebony throne

There ain't no blackened heart

No innocent soul

Who can't come and live in the palace of bone
