Version 1.0

Here are pretty accurate "Palace of the brine" chords. Every single tab I found on the internet are totally wrong. So... I got the chords by looking at the Brixton 1991 (rare) performance of this song, and I'm kind of pleased to say that those are mostly accurate. (even though I could easily have missed some details)

Video of me playing the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHZi4tou1FY <-- much easier to look at this than reading the tab.

Tuning: DROP D

Note 1: The song is tabbed here without capo (it was performed that way in 1991). If you want to sound like the Trompe Le Monde version, use a capo on 1st fret and transcribe all chords 1 step higher on the fretboard.
Note 2: This is a very easy song to play, but it's a nightmare for me to write a tab. I could be totally wrong with chord names. I used some online chord search engine to get the names... So, please contribute to fix any error on that level.
