Josh Garrels (born Joshua Michael Garrels on September 25, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter.
Garrels has been a lot of things: son of a hippie commune, skater boy, suburban drug dealer, music/design student, coffee roaster, urban shepherd, and now nation- and globe-trotting minstrel of hope and healing.
He is also a beacon of light in a marketplace rife with artists who, whether wanting to acquire fame or just their next meals, have sold
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I LOVE this song and when I saw that the chord chart wasn't on here, I thought that it was about time to get on that. So here you go! Please do enjoy. Also, for the Am, I use an Am7, mainly because I think it sounds more appropriate, but both Am and Am7 work. It's really just up to your own judgment.
