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.

This song sounds great when played acoustically. There are a lot of little riffs he plays in the original which I haven't tabbed, but most are easy enough to figure out.
