So I've been trying to find chords for this song for about 3 years now. I determined most of them by watching the "Bathroom Sessions" version. It's pretty simple, so I'm kind of surprised nobody has tabbed it out yet. Very underrated song, in my opinion! This is pretty much 100% right, except for the bridge. But it sounds fine, it's just not exactly how Ed plays that part. But no matter, I hope you enjoy! -JoeyLeddz Standard tuning [EADGBE] NO Capo All the chords in this song are played as follows: G: 320033 Cadd9: x32033 D: xx0232 D (3rd fret): xxx343 D (5th fret): xxx565 G/B: x20033 Em7: x22033 D7: xx0212 Cadd9 (4th fret)/C9(4 Fr): x54055 G/F#: 200033 [Intro] G, Cadd9, D, D (3rd fret), D (5th fret) [x2] [Verse 1]
