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
