Biography:
Singer-songwriter Josiah Leming was a Top 50 contestant on the 7th season of American Idol. Despite not making the semifinals, Leming appears to be one of the most popular contestants, having amassed a rabid MySpace following of more than 20,000 friends and making appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Access Hollywood, among others, as well as being featured on mtv.com.
Leming was born in a small town in East Tennessee. He was raised by a mother and a father who worked ceaselessly to put food on the table for Josiah and his 8 siblings

Hello everyone :) this is my first tab and I'm pretty damn proud of it.
I think it's right on, I played along with the YouTube video, spent a few
hours on it.. Let me know if you find any mistakes!! These are just the
basic chord progressions, I'm sure if someone had the time they could tab
out all the different minor changes Josiah makes on the piano but I wasn't
about to do that lol. My cover of this song is a response on Josiah's video
on YouTube, check it out if you want to see it on guitar.
THANKS :D
