Matt Maeson is an American singer-songwriter from Chesapeake Bay, Virginia. Learning drums and guitar at a young age and eventually touring as part of his father's prison ministry. Melding bluesy indie folk and modern production, he began posting tracks on SoundCloud and eventually caught the ear of Atlantic affiliate Neon Gold Records, which signed him in 2016. Maeson embarked on his first headlining tour that summer, which was presented by Communion, the music organization founded by Mumford & Sons' Ben Lovett.

All chords are relative to a Capo on the 5th fret in the studio versioin, but he also puts the capo on the 3rd
or 4th in some live recordings
Matt plays the F as an Fmaj7 with an open high e (from low to high it's x33210), then a regular C chord,
into a G chord that is identical to an Fmaj7 but 2 frets up (x5543x), finishing with an Am7 played the way
you'd usually play it (x02010).
