Russian Circles, "Micah" Tuning: DADGAD Tabbed by: Nathan Zwiener Hi everyone! This is my favorite Russian Circles song. There were no good tabs for it that I could find for the longest time, which made me pretty sad, but I eventually got around to doing it myself. Really, once I fould in an online interview what tuning this guy sometimes plays in, it was a piece of cake with some speed slowing software. Thanks for using my tab, and enjoy this beautiful song.
