Jason Thomas Mraz (born June 23, 1977 in Mechanicsville, Virginia) is a Grammy-winning American singer-songwriter. Mraz’s stylistic influences include reggae, pop, rock, folk, jazz, and hip hop.
Mraz released his debut album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come in 2002 but it was not until the release of his second album, Mr. A-Z that Mraz achieved commercial success. The album peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 200 and sold over one hundred thousand copies in the US.
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!
Notes*: -I cover this song in standard tuning but Jason Mraz plays in drop D I'll show both ways of playing it.
-He plays differently live, like a lot. he changes lyrics and the chord changes for the bridge are pretty different from the recording. So I want to state that is a tab from the Album Version.
-Jason plays it first fret, in my band we do no capo because it makes it SO much easier to sing.
-In the bridge im having a real hard time deciding whether the second chord is a G or a Dadd4/G, so i just put down how we play it which is G. But if anyone has any input please leave a comment!
