Matt Mays (born August 10, 1979, in Hamilton, Ontario, and raised in Nova Scotia) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and was the lead singer of Matt Mays & El Torpedo, a rock music group based in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia and New York City. Previously, Mays was a member of a Canadian indie band The Guthries.
After departing The Guthries to embark on a solo career, Mays released his self-titled debut which maintained the rootsy, laid-back feel of his earlier work but also had a decidedly more rock vibe.

a few points of interest..the part of the song immediately before and after the solo where the chords are played C G C G C you will hear what sounds like a slide so I play it like this
So basically you slide the C position towards the G barred Chord to get that slide sound..the fingering isnt in the same form so youll have to change position fairly fast
Also..any point in the song where he goes from an F to a Dm There are two notes you hit in between these chords youll notice where on the song when you hear it..its around the part where he sings "I've been"
