Palace of Bone Lyrics

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 =)
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)
We've been a long time together
Time together on a snakey road
There ain't no time spent together
Like time spent together on a snakey road
Break: Am C C/B
Winding on through the hills together
Winding on that snakey road
Winding on forever
Winding on that snakey road
What's that they're telling you,
Your future? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket too
Break: Am C C/B
We've been a long time together
Time together on a snakey road
There ain't no time spent together
Like time spent together on a snakey road
Break: Am C C/B
Winding on through the hills together
Winding on that snakey road
Winding on forever
Winding on that snakey road
What's that they're selling you,
Lotions, potions? I'm telling you
They're gonna pick your pocket or two
And in the clearing...
MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)
I'm going to build me a palace of bone
With wide open walls and an ebony throne
And all the broken children
From every broken home
MAIN RIFF
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
MAIN RIFF
Who can't come and live in the palace of bone
Coda: Am C C/B, and a quiet BASS RIFF (see below) near the end
MAIN RIFF:
I'm going to build me a palace of bone
BREAK RIFF:
(Listen to the song to work out timings)
BASS RIFF
(I'm unsure whether this is played on bass or guitar, I've just tabbed it on the
guitar anyway)
