...and I did not know this singer

I discovered him recently on YT by a cover of this song (Sittin, Waiting, Wishing) by Fret Killer (FK is a singer "anonymous" onYou tube which is a giant of guitar and singing in my opinion ...)
I have "hooked" to this song especially by its particular construction with for each measure a major chord on 2 times and a major 7chord over two times (see lyrics and chords)

Guitar and sing JP,
others (electric piano,piano, drums and bass) BIAB

Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Album: In Between Dreams

Am Am7 G G7
I was sitting, waiting, wishing You believed in superstitions
F F7 C C7
maybe you'ld see the signs
Am Am7 G G7
lord knows that this world is cruel And I ain't the lord no 'm just a fool
F F7 C C7
Learnin lovinsome body Don'tmake them love (you)
E E7 E E7 Am Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
E E7 E E7 Am Am7
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

sang your songs danced your dance
gave your friends all a chance
putt n' up with them Wasn't worth never haven' you
   bABY MUST you've been through this before
But 's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you

E Am
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
E Am
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

C E
   I keep playing your part

But it's not my scene
   G
Want this plot to twist
   F
( I've) had enough mystery

C E
   keep buildin' it up
   F
But ( then you're) shooting me down
   G
But I'm already down
   Am
Just wait a minute

Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

  if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why (it had) taken me so long
But lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was wouldn't be so cruel
cause waiting on love
Ain't so easy to do

E Am
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
E Am
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

ah yes of Fret Killer I kept only the small guitar phrase to 2' 02" ... that I had a lot of trouble to play!
