Hi. Here's some tab for the song "Cirlesquare", as written and performed
by the now defunct Wonder Stuff. Circlesquare was a UK only single,
but it's also on the B-side of some "Size of a Cow" CD singles. Get it--
it's one of the best songs they ever did, and my personal favourite.

This tab is based on an acoustic version that Miles played on MuchMusic

(Canada's MTV), and is essentially the same as the acoustic version in
the "Welcome to the Cheap Seats" movie. Fortunately, I could
see what he was doing so I'm pretty sure there aren't any mistakes in
this.


CHORDS
------

Here are all the chords you'll need. All are indicated relative to the
capo, so E minorEm is really F# minorF#m and so on. Some chords have numbers in

. These indicate variations which I'll explain

later on.

- By the way, I think Miles adds a low A augmentedA to the DM11 chord in the

 verse (554030). It's not very noticeable, so I don't bother with it.
- The studio versions replace CM7 with Cadd9Cadd9 (032030).
- Many chords have either an open low E MajorE string, an open high E MajorE string,
 or both. Sometimes, it sounds better to omit these notes.

RHYTHMIC PATTERN
----------------

This two-measure strumming pattern carries on through most of the song.
He likes to vary it the 3rd and 4th times he plays the bridge, but you
can figure that part out yourself.

Make sure you play the Dsus2Dsus2 to DM11sus2 progression by varying
the high E MajorE string like this:

BRIDGE
------

GM9 | Dadd11 | CM9 | CM9<->Dadd11    each lasts two measures

Play this eight-measure progression four times. The second time, you can
add those high D MajorD notes that I indicated in the chord list as . When

you come to the CM9<->Dadd11 part, play it like this:

 ................. CMaj9Cmaj9 <-> Dadd11 ................

OUTRO
-----

Dsus2Dsus2 | DM11sus2


Just repeat this bit from the chorus a bunch of times, and end on
DM11sus2. If you want to make the ending more melodic, you can
slow down and finish like this:

e|-3----------2-------------|
b|-3----------3----------3--|
g|-0----------0----------0--|

d|-2----------2----------2--|
a|--------------------------|

Okay... I originally wasn't going to do this, but you talked me into it.
Here's my best guess at the electric part, which is also capoed at the 2nd
fret. The verse is rreeaallly simple: just E minorEm 022000 (really F# minorF#m) with palm

muting and lots of effects. I'd guess that he's using overdrive, wah, and

some sort of tremolo-like volume effect; but I don't own any effects, so I

don't know that much. Also, he may be using only a partial form like

022xxx or something.

The chorus is something like this:

e|-------2---------|---------0-------|---------2-------|---------0-------|
b|-----3-----------|---3-------------|-----3-----------|---3-------------|
g|-----------------|-----2-----------|-0---------------|-----2-----------|
d|-0-------------2-|-----------------|---------------2-|-----------------|

e|-3---5---5---3-3-|---5-5---5---3-3-|-3---5---5---3-3-|---5-5---5---3---|

  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .

Don't ask about the bridge!
