Thinking Out Loud chords by Ed Sheeran

Guitar chords with lyrics

**Ed’s not in standard tuning. If you want to play
  it like him: Remove the capo, change your tuning
  and transpose these chords UP 2x’s.**

TABBED FROM AN EARLY LIVE VERSION!

     EADGBe
C/B [x22010]
Am7 [x02010] -If you strum the song and can’t hear a difference
              between the C and Am7, then use the C/B or make sure
              you’re strumming them properly- which apparently
              I wasn’t doing when I first tabbed this;)

If you’re plucking the base notes of each chord when strumming during the
verses, then on the C/B, the A string needs to be open which makes it an
Am7. So those have been changed.

C          Am7
 When your legs don’t work
          F             G
Like they used to before
C            Am7                   F    G
 And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
C          Am7
 Will your mouth still remember
    F               G
the taste of my love
C          Am7
 Will your eyes still smile
F               G
from your cheeks



            C  Am7           F    Am7             C   Am7  F  G
And darling I will be loving you ’til we’re seventeen
           C   Am7                   F  Am7          C    Am7
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at twenty-three
F                 G
And I’m thinking ’bout how



Dm                       G        C
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Dm                      G
Maybe its all part of a plan
     Dm                            Am
Well me I fall in love with you every single day
    Dm                      GGGGG -stop
And I just wanna tell you I am

Place your head on my beating heart
             F     G
I’m thinking out loud
          Am* C/B*  F*   C*    F*    G* C
And maybe we  found love right where we are




C            Am7                     F           G
 And when my head’s over gone and my memory fades
C        Am7                   F       G
 And the crowds don’t remember my name
C        Am7         F                    G           C
 When my hands don’t play the strings the same way, mmm
       Am7                        F    G
I know you will still love me the same




              C   Am7             F    G                 C  Am7  F  G
Cause honey your soul could never grow old it’s evergreen
           C    Am7           F     G            C  Am7  F
And baby your smile’s forever in my mind and memory
                  G
And I’m thinking ’bout how



Dm                       G        C
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Dm                     G
Baby just the touch of hand
     Dm                       Am     Am7
Well I’ll continue making the same mistake
Dm                      GGGGG -stop
Hoping that you’ll understand




          C    Am7 F
