A Beautiful Game chords by Ed Sheeran (Ver. 2)

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Tab below includes the basic notes for the little pickup riff you hear at the beginning and in most
places with the G to C/E transition. On the C/E, I sometimes play just the bass note and sometimes I pluck
the notes in parentheses:
   G         C/E
e|-----------------|
B|-----0h1--(1)----|
G|-0h2------(0)----|
D|----------(2)----|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------0-----|
   3 e + a 4 e + a




🎸 Verse 1:
G C/E F                   C/E            G
         Though we've not reached the end
                     Am       F
We should take some time apart
                 C/E      G
Leave here with no regrets
G               C/E F
Knowing we gave our all
         C/E    G
Oh, I cannot pretend
                Am              F
That this won't break our hearts
            C/E   G
But we will meet again

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
G               C/E Am
I know the order's  tall
    G                  F
But we could be so much more


🎸 Chorus:
C                   C/E    F            C
 Out of the embers, we'll rise from the ashes
      F            C            Gsus4
And write in the stars with our names
C                           F              C
 That we are here, we are bruised, we are damaged
        Am       G            Dm
But the joy was worth the pain
            F      C/E G     G    C
Whoa-oh-oh, love's a   beautiful game


🎸 Verse 2:
G C/E F              C/E         G
        Oh, what a state we're in
               Am          F
But the war is far from won
             C/E       G
Yeah, we did everything
G            C/E  F
Anyone could have done
                C/E     G
We'll pick the pieces up
                      Am      F
Put it together, we pray and hope it works
              C/E         G
They say it's in the blood


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
G               C/E Am
I know the order's  tall
    G                  F
But we could be so much more


🎸 Chorus:
             C                          F            C
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Out of the embers, we'll rise from the ashes
      F            C            Gsus4
And write in the stars with our names
             C                           F              C
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) That we are here, we are bruised, we are damaged
        Am       G            Dm
But the joy was worth the pain
            F      C/E G     G    C
Whoa-oh-oh, love's a   beautiful game
