But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

Somebody that I used to know - Gotye

in fig.1, the high strings are very heavily muted.
you almost can't hear a pitch, but i'm pretty sure it's there.

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

m = mute
P.M. =  palm mute


Standard Tuning

Capo 3

This is how I play it, basically it's Dm, C and Bb but I think it sounds better
with the capo instead so...

Bm      A               Bm      A           Bm A Bm A [same]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends

This is my second tab for this song. This one is slightly different but more 
accurate. The other one is just how I like to play it while singing and it's 
listed as "Somebody I Used To Know."
