Jon Jay Christopher Smith (Helsingborg, Suecia, 29 de abril de 1981), es una cantante sueco y un guitarrista de ascendencia Inglesa. Ganó el concurso sueco Idol 2010, superando a Minnah Karlsson el 10 de diciembre de 2010 en la final celebrada en el Ericsson Globo theate. Antes de participar en el concurso sueco Idol 2010, Jay Smith formó parte de la banda Von Benzo, con la que ya había lanzado un álbum.
Durante su etapa en el concurso Idol 2010, creó polémica anunciando que había fumado marihuana en algún momento durante el concurso.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
NOTE: Jay Smith does many versions of this song. He plays it in many different keys and changes the lyrics, etc. So what I decided was to tab the CD version (which I believe this to be) and then someone requested a live version of which there are many to choose from. For all of the tabs here I included the video I used to make the tabs from. Please take this into consideration when using these tabs. Thanks

============== LIVE VERSION ==============
NOTE: This tab is in standard tuning. I do believe that Jay Smith is either tuned down a half step or more and/or in an alternate tuning. This explains why the chords here are NOT the ones he plays in this live version but sound like them.
