Hi everybody! This is my first time ever tabbing something out, so I hope it all goes well.
I figured this song out by watching the video from the dreamusher website. Well, here it is.
It's played in a similar manner to "Universe Communion."

"Nothing In Between" by Stuart Davis
Tuning in the video: Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Ab, Db
However, I just tend to play the song in plain old DADGAD so I'll label the strings as DADGAD.
Here's the Lyrics:
Verse 1
There is nothing in between us when we sleep
Every night the bliss begins to leak
Nothing in between us when we laugh
It's something that our head will never grasp
It's seen, in between
Verse 2
There's nothing in between your joy and mine
It's all a lot of nectar on the vine
Joy is how my parents were entwined
there's nothing in between their lives and mine
They've seen, in...
Refrain
Nowhere to hide in the open reality
Love is so wide that there isn't a boundary
There's only one eye without any enemy
When, you've seen in between
Verse 3
There's nothing in between our skin and light
There's nothing in between the wind and kite
There's nothing in between our lips and grace
There's nothing in between the tongue and taste
We've seen, in...
(Refrain)
There's nothing in between you and me
There's nothing in between blue and sea
Nothing in between us and love
There's nothing in between wings and doves...doves
(Refrain)
There is nothing in between
Here's the guitar part. Woohoo!
When it’s written that all the open strings are to be played, that is actually the right
hand hitting the strings right next to the bridge of the guitar. I find it easiest to get
a good tone on all the strings by using my middle and ring fingers to hit the strings.
Most of the times that you hit the strings with your right hand, you immediately follow
it by hammering and pulling off the notes with the left hand. This will be
written as "h(fret number)p"
meaning hammer the fret then pull off. Such as "h5p" means hammer and pulloff on the 5th fret.
I think it's easiest to hammer with your middle and ring fingers. There are also times in the
song where you hammer notes with the right hand index finger. These will be denoted with
an "R" before the fret number. Such as "R5" means hammer the 5th fret with your
right index finger.
Have fun with this one, its a great song!
