This is the tab for Mayday Parade's and Vic Fuentes' cover of Somebody That I
Used To Know (originally performed by Gotye feat. Kimbra)
Tuning:
Guitar 1 - Drop D
Guitar 2 - Standard or Drop D, doesn't matter.
I play the best bits of both guitars on my les paul on Drop D and it sounds
great, probably one of the best covers I've ever heard!
There are also little distortion bits in the verses which I haven't included,
they're not really that playable so I didn't bother.
Rate and comment :)
* - Palm mute
~ - let note ring
x - mute note
h - hammer on
p - pull of

End on either of these notes, they're the same note
just an octave above each other. The 23 is used in
the song so play this if you can, but some guitars
only have 22 frets so I put 16 in to be universal! :)
