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 =]

is another whole bar)
