Song: 	Circles
Artist:	incubus
Album:	Morning View
Tabbed By:	Ryan Santy, rsanty921@adelphia.net

Here is the 4-string tab to CIRCLES, thanks again to Scott Crist for setting up the 5-string version from which this was transcribed from.
The only parts i have changed are the B and E string. the rest of this tab is of course Scott Crist's work. Again, mad props to Scott.


Intro/ Verse

like i've said before, this is just the notes, i'm not trying to represent any rythm.
just listen to the song for that...

do this version of the riff 3 times

G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----5---------3-3-3-3-------
D-0-3---0-3-0-3---------------

and then do this one on the fourth time

G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----2-----------------------
D-0-3---0-3-0-3----5-5-5-5----   i'm pretty sure about that G, but you can just use whatever note is comfortable with your ear.


Odd Riff

Ok so this riff threw me off for a little bit, but it's best if you think
of it like this..

just count the number of beats.

 1 2 3 1 2 3 4   kind of like 7/4, but it's like just weird feel,
G-----5-------5-   but this method seemed to work for me. And be sure to
D-----5-------5-   slap and pop this portion of the song, just slap the D
A---------------   and pop the G and C chord.
D-0-0---0-0-0---

Verse

Make sure you're insync with the bass drum on this one.

G----------------------------------------- the hammer on has to be like
D----------------------------------------- super fast because it's almost like
A-----2----------2--------8-8-3-3--------- a dead note but it's actually the open B.
D-0-0---0--3-0-0---0--3-----------6-6-3-3- you could probably just get away with using a dead
                      note if you wanted to.

Pre Chorus Riff

what i like to do is make that C kind of like a power chord and use my
15th fret G and C, and make a cool little sound. I don't think Dirk does
this but the guitar kind of covers it, so do what you want.

G---------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------
A------3--3--3--3--3--3------3--3--3--3--3--3-
D-1-1-------------------1-1-------------------

Chorus

G---------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------
A-4----4----4----4-4----4----4----4-4----4----4----4------3---3-
D--0----0----0------0----0----0------0----0----0------3-3-------
this is a pretty cool part buti'm not really sure on the hammer on
 but that's the only thing that i couldof that he would be doing i
to get that sound.
