Strumming approximated, not exact.
Chords in the lyrics sync with tab. They’re just meant to help with placement.
G could be G7 (320001) in the first half of the chorus

h hammer-on
p pull-off
/ slide (toward bridge)
slide (toward nut)
x mute string
…though you probably know all that.

Comments welcome.

Great song.

WITH CLOSED EYES – Shannon Wright

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: aGuyWith2ears

Tuning: D G D G B E (Gadd6 tuning)
tune low E down to D and A string down to G

Tempo : approx. 128bpm
Time sign. : 3/4

Intro
(Anyone want to arrange this mellotron ? these overdubbed flutes ?)

This is the most difficult part, the Main Riff :
the notes on the 2 lower strings (the strings re-tuned to D and G) should
be picked (yes PICKED, holding a pick between thumb and index finger, or
using a thumbpick) leaving one of your other fingers to pluck the melody
on the 4th string. Let those notes on the fourth string ring while
maintaining that percussive bass-line by hammering the 7th and 8th fret
of the G String and accentuating those open D and G stings.

Main Riff (play Main Riff 2 times during Verses)

I won’t do without you

A tip about the Main Riff :

I’m not sure about this but the hammered 7th and 8th fret notes could be hit
from a few frets below like this :

G|-----5h7--5h7-----|-----5h7----0-----|-----7h8--7h8-----|-----7h8----0-----|
D|--0---------------|--0---------------|--0---------------|--0---------------|

or maybe mixed with 0h7 and 0h8

It doesn’t make the playing easier but Shannon Wright probably uses some kind
of loop machine to layer on the guitars after achieving the bass-line,
I’m not sure.

Improvements are welcome, have fun.

—————————-

Capo on the 4th fret

You help me do the things I hold
You help me do the things I hold

Defy, defy our love
Defy, defy our love

And it’s not the roles you play
And it’s not the roles I play

Defy, defy our love
Defy, defy our love.

Oh, how they start
Little birds so gently
I give you all the love I?ve got
And let it shine right through me

Can we please forget the pain
Can we please forget today

Define, define our love
Define, define this love

Oh, how they start
Little birds so gently
I give you all the love I?ve got
And let it shine right through me

All the while
I still carry
The lullabies that you sing
Circle round angry on me
If only you would come for me

enjoy it
