Biography:
Martyn Joseph (born July 15, 1960, in Penarth, Wales) is a Welsh singer-songwriter whose music primarily blends Celtic and folk, while his songwriting often focuses on social protest.
At first glance Martyn Joseph is (just) another gifted singer songwriter. First impressions are there to mislead of course: Joseph's ambition is broader than entertainment, deeper than commerce. Some musicians want to move your feet, some just want to move you: Martyn Joseph wants to move heaven and earth.

Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I did a tab of a song and this is
the one I've decided to do. It's a great song, covered by this guy who does
loads of other songs as well.
Basically, for almost the whole song, you keep your pinkie and ring fingers
on 3rd fret, 1st and 2nd strings (pinkie on 1st, ring on 2nd), and then play
with them held down. However, there are some parts where it goes from Dsus4
to D where you will have to change this (or you could stay on D/F#, but it
sounds better and the same as the actual song when you do the Dsus4 to D
change).
All in all, a great song, with a great meaning behind it. Again, there are
some timings where you will need to listen to the song to figure it out to
sound right, but apart from that, it's a doddle!
Any problems, message me or leave a comment, and don't forget to check out
some of my other tabs.
Thanks, hope it helps :)
